USMC Bans Crypto Mining Apps From Govt Issued Phones Due to Privacy & Security Issues

2020-7-29 20:21

The United States Marine Corps (USMC) released a memo on Tuesday in guidance to all holders of government-furnished equipment (GFE) mobile phones. The memo further prohibits the installation and use of these mobile phones from a select group of apps, including mining cryptocurrencies apps.

The set prohibition laws come up as a security and privacy concern for the Marine Corps, the memo states. Some of the major categories of apps forbidden from the installation on the GFEs include gaming, dating, gambling, security/monitoring bypass tools, rooting or jailbreak tools, and bitcoin/cryptocurrency mining applications. The statement reads,

“Users will not see or be able to install prohibited applications to their GFE device from Google Play or the Apple Store. If the user has an app installed that later becomes prohibited, it will be automatically removed/blocked by the management server.”

No direct reason is offered for prohibiting crypto-mining tools or any other apps rather than they raise security and privacy concerns to the USMC.

“The collection, use, and disposition of information for account creation or made available through mobile applications (e.g., physical locations, significant life events, images, videos, etc.) is a privacy and security concern.”

She thinks wistfully of the old days, when quadratic-voting in the World Collective Market was a much simpler process of linking her public key to a twitter account and opening up metamask to start firing off votes.

How big biased datasets make social inequalities worse

At almost every point in our day, we interact with digital technologies which collect our data. From the moment our smart phones wake us up, to our watch tracking our morning run, every time we use public transport, every coffee we purchase with a bank card, every song skipped or liked, until we return to bed and let our sleep apps monitor our dreaming habits – all of these technologies are collecting data.

No, buying drugs via apps isn’t safer

Markets for illicit drugs are constantly evolving to increase profits and reduce risks to suppliers in response to law enforcement tactics. New technologies have been taken up with enthusiasm: from the use of pagers and mobile phones in the 1990s, to the more recent growth of online pharmacies and drug cryptomarkets, which host large numbers of illicit drug vendors operating in the hidden portion of the internet known as the “dark net”.
