Traduzco, porque lo que dice Bert es importante:

"Por muy alarmante que sea, el artículo que aparece a continuación no lo es lo suficiente. Microsoft Francia afirma aquí que nunca han visto una solicitud de CLOUD ACT de datos del gobierno francés. Tal vez sea cierto. Sin embargo, en virtud de la sección 702 de la FISA y la OE 12333, Microsoft sigue estando obligada a entregar esos datos a la NSA, y los europeos nunca se enterarán de esa solicitud. ¡Los espías estadounidenses no necesitan pedir permiso a los europeos para espiar a los gobiernos europeos! #sigint "

EUpolicy.social - A Mastodon server for the EU bubblebert hubert 🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦 (@bert_hubert@eupolicy.social)Alarming as it is, the article below is still not alarming enough! Microsoft France here claims they've never seen a CLOUD ACT request for French government data. Perhaps true. However, under the FISA section 702 & EO 12333, Microsoft is still mandated to deliver such data to the NSA, and Europeans will never learn of that request. US spies do not need to ask Europeans for permission to spy on European governments! #sigint https://www.theregister.com/2025/07/25/microsoft_admits_it_cannot_guarantee/

Shop keeper Phyllis used her computer system to automate book keeping, taking the time to prepare from five hours to five minutes.

Having learned the system down to hardware level, Phyllis is now building an electronics kit. Her aim? Build a computer herself; Or as we called it an “electronic gadget”.

What Phyllis doesn’t say is she was a maths graduate from University and “#Cypher Clerk” in “Hut 5” at #BletchleyPark during the war.

The”Official Secrets Act” was in force in 1983 😂🤣☺️

"I will now look at Canada, where former prime minister Justin Trudeau had a rarely seen telephone on his desk: the vIPer Universal Secure Phone, which is manufactured by the American defense contractor General Dynamics."

@jt_rebelo @mastodonmigration @GottaLaff I'd call #Ukraine "criminally incompetent" if they didn't already leverage domestic #Fiber & #GSM networks as well as procuring entire transponders for exclusive use.

Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)@dragonfrog@mastodon.sdf.org @benh@mastodon.scot @mastodonmigration@mastodon.online @GottaLaff@mstdn.social as for #ITsec amd the whole #Starlink #Network: It basically uses a homegrown mix of #DOCSIS, #GSM and #ViaSat #SurfBeam technologies to generate these hexagon coverage areas. - Certainly not trivial, but not impossible to #BlueBox, tho unless one needs #FPS-grade #Ping|s, it's not worth the effort when other Options like #KaSAT are easier and cheaper to get hold of... https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114048966406486263

None of these 3 large dishes is active. Same with dish 4 in the back, this one is for the Ku band. Dish 1,2 and 4 are equipped with skew angle gear & motors to squint into downlinks.
C-Band modules - LNCs, filters & c - are all from Nortel Canada. The Ku band modules are from Swedish Microwave.
Vienna is by far the largest and one of the few remaining #SIGINT stations in EU on Russki embassies.
Tech staffers were all kicked out except here

Der Antennenpark in Wien 22 ist größer als diese beiden Stationen zusammen und weiterhin voll funktionsfähig.

And meanwhile we have sort of re-engineered three of these four-meter dishes and identified their targets. All three are C-band dishes and there are not that many C-band sats around any more in the segment from Greenwich to 15°.
Posted a thread on this lately, always fediverse first, and I'm currently doing a longread for a magazine here.

tl;dr: They are collecting signals intelligence mainly for their African putsch politics

Der #NomenNescioClub hat alle Bewegungen der vier großen Spiegel auf der UN-Botschaft der Russischen Föderation in Wien 22 seit Jahresbeginn erfasst. Wir wissen jetzt welche Satelliten von diesen vier Dishes abgeschnorchelt werden & um welche Sat-Internet-Verbindungen aus Afrika nach Europa es dabei geht. Hier die 1. Iteration vom 2024 02 20 - 22 Richtung Westen #MeuchelsTechnischeRundschau

Ah ok, different network., rremember. As you mentioned thíngs going unnoticed in plain sight. Everybody passing by the Russian embassy to the UN in Vienna could see 4 large dishes on top. Nobody cared what they might be doing there for years .

Late in 2022 we shot the roof with zooms & sent a drone up. Voilà: a full blown #SIGiNT station with a dozen dishes. And the NSA watching them from their "stateroom" hut above the nearby US embassy to the UN.

Here comes Fordie. Tyre pressure monitoring says at least one of the tyres is okay. And: Fordie is on the move so we possibly won't be seeing him again.
Good luck to your other 3 tyre sensors and watch out on the road!

Btw the cmd to get only °c is

$ rtl_433 -C si

ALL YOUR SENSORS ARE BELONG TO US!

</diabolic laugh>

well at least these shitbroadcasting on 433 MHz.

These are all weather stations and affiliated outdoor sensors all blaring out data on 433.920 MHz. No idea who owns these - yet.

Next we got to change this Fahrenheit mess to Celsius. And there are other sensors around, thankfully.

This is my provisonal shack sporting the slimmest possible set up. A 5 Watt VHF /UHF handheld transceiver connected to OE5XFK in the Mountains of hell, as everybody should know meanwhile.
😎

The fat USB stick is an #rtlsdr, a tiny software defined radio attached to a laptop running #ubuntu #linux 24.04.

And now we go a-hunting, Nearfield #SIGINT starting with a humble bash proggie.

And there she is in the dizzy light of the winter sun. A stern, prickly beauty throning high above smalltown suburbia. As you might have noted there is this usb black stick in front.

A SMB-socket on one side, on the other USB, so this might well be called a transgender stick. Linguistic/psychoanalytic sidenote: Even phallic verticals are grammatically female in most languages.

What for a start? Humble nearfield #SIGINT in an environment, I had the displeasure to come of age.
