What is a VPN (virtual private network)? And how can it make your time online more secure—and a little more private too? Here we’ll take a look at what a VPN is, what it has to offer, and how that benefits you.

What is a VPN and how does it protect me?
A VPN is an app that you install on your device to help keep your data safe as you browse the internet. When you turn on your VPN app, your device makes a secure connection to a VPN server that routes internet traffic. Securely. This keeps your online activity private on any network, shielding it from prying eyes. So, while you’re on a VPN, you can browse and bank with the confidence that your passwords, credentials, and financial info are secure. If any malicious actors try to intercept your web traffic, they’ll only see garbled content thanks to your VPN’s encryption functionality.

Does a VPN change my IP address?
Every internet connection is assigned a unique set of numbers called an IP address, which is tied to info such as geographic location or an Internet Service Provider (ISP). A VPN replaces your actual IP address to make it look like you’ve connected to the internet from the physical location of the VPN server, rather than your real location. This is just one reason why so many people use VPNs.

How can I use a VPN to change my IP address?
To change your IP address, you simply open your VPN app, select the server location you’d like to connect to, and you’re done. You’re now browsing with a new IP address. If you’d like to make sure your IP has changed, open a browser and search for “What’s my IP address” and then select one of the results.

When should I use a VPN?
An ideal case for using a VPN is when you’re using public Wi-Fi at the airport, a café, hotel, or just about any place where “free Wi-Fi” is offered. The reason being is that these are open networks, and any somewhat enterprising cybercriminal can tap into these networks and harvest sensitive info as a result. One survey showed that 39% of internet users worldwide understand public Wi-Fi is unsafe, yet some users still bank, shop, and do other sensitive things on public Wi-Fi despite the understood risks.

Further, you have your privacy to consider. You can use a VPN to help stop advertisers from tracking you. Searches you perform and websites you visit won’t be traced back to you, which can prevent advertisers from gleaning info about you and your online habits in general. Moreover, some ISPs collect the browsing history of their users and share it with advertisers and other third parties. A VPN can prevent this type of collection as well.

Can a VPN protect my search history?
A VPN protects your search history through the secure connection you share. When you search for a website or type a URL into your navigation bar, your device sends something called a DNS request, which translates the website into the IP address of the web server. This is how your browser can find the website and serve its content to you. By encrypting your DNS requests, a VPN can hide your search habits and history from those who might use that info as part of building a profile of you. This type of info might be used in a wide variety of ways, from legitimately serving targeted ads to nefarious social engineering.

Are VPNs and “Incognito Mode” and “Private Mode” in browsers the same thing?
Note that a VPN is quite different and far, far more comprehensive than using “Private Mode” or “Incognito Mode” on your browser. Those modes only hide your search history locally on your device — not from others on the internet, like ISPs and advertisers.

Does a VPN make me anonymous?
No, a VPN can’t make you anonymous. Not entirely, anyway. They help secure what you’re doing, but your ISP still knows when you’re using the internet. They just can’t see what you’re doing, what sites you visit, or how long you’ve been on a site.

What about services like Apple’s Private Relay?
Apple’s Private Relay is similar to a VPN in that it changes your IP address so websites you visit can’t tell exactly where you are. It works on iOS and Macs as part of an iCloud+ subscription. Yet there is one important distinction: it only protects your privacy while surfing with the Safari browser.

Per Apple, it works like this:

When Private Relay is enabled, your requests are sent through two separate, secure internet relays. Your IP address is visible to your network provider and to the first relay, which is operated by Apple. Your DNS records are encrypted, so neither party can see the address of the website you’re trying to visit. The second relay, which is operated by a third-party content provider, generates a temporary IP address, decrypts the name of the website you requested, and connects you to the site. All of this is done using the latest internet standards to maintain a high-performance browsing experience while protecting your privacy.

Note that as of this writing, Apple Private Relay is not available in all countries and regions. If you travel somewhere where Private Relay isn’t available, it will automatically turn off and will notify you when it’s unavailable and once more when it’s active again. You can learn more about it here and how you can enable it on your Apple devices.

Do I need a VPN if I have Apple’s Private Relay?
As mentioned above, Private Relay only works with Safari on iOS and macOS as part of an iCloud+ subscription. Even if you are using an Apple device, a VPN is still a good idea because it will protect the info that your device sends outside Safari — such as any info passed along by your apps or any other browsers you might use.

How to get your own VPN
An unlimited VPN with bank-grade encryption comes as part of your McAfee+ subscription and provides the security and privacy benefits above with bank-grade encryption. Additionally, it turns on automatically any time you connect to an unsecured Wi-Fi network, which takes the guesswork out of when you absolutely need to use it.

In all, our VPN makes it practically impossible for cybercriminals or advertisers to access so that what you do online remains private and secure, so you can enjoy your time online with confidence.

Jasdev Dhaliwal
MAY 10, 2024

7 MIN READ


How do hackers hack phones? Several ways. Just as there are several ways you can prevent it from happening to you.The thing is that our phones are like little treasure chests. They’re loaded with plenty of personal data, and we use them to shop, bank, and take care of other personal and financial matters—all of which are of high value to identity thieves. However, you can protect yourself and your phone by knowing what to look out for and by taking a few simple steps. Let’s break it down by first taking a look at some of the more common attacks.

Types of Smartphone Hacks and Attacks
Hacking software
Whether hackers sneak it onto your phone by physically accessing your phone or by tricking you into installing it via a phony app, a sketchy website, or a phishing attack, hacking software can create problems for you in a couple of ways:

Keylogging: In the hands of a hacker, keylogging works like a stalker by snooping information as you type, tap, and even talk on your phone.
Trojans: Trojans are types of malware that can be disguised in your phone to extract important data, such as credit card account details or personal information.
Some possible signs of hacking software on your phone include:

A battery that drains way too quickly.
Your phone runs a little sluggish or gets hot.
Apps quit suddenly or your phone shuts off and turns back on.
You see unrecognized data, text, or other charges on your bill.
In all, hacking software can eat up system resources, create conflicts with other apps, and use your data or internet connection to pass along your personal information into the hands of hackers—all of which can lead to some of the symptoms listed above.

Phishing attacks
These are a classic form of attack. In fact, hackers have leveled them at our computers for years now too. Phishing is where hackers impersonate a company or trusted individual to get access to your accounts or personal info or both. And these attacks take many forms, like emails, texts, instant messages, and so forth, some of which can look really legitimate. Common to them are links to bogus sites that attempt to trick you into handing over that info or that install malware to wreak havoc on your device or likewise steal information. Learning how to spot a phishing attack is one way to keep yourself from falling victim to one.

Bluetooth hacking
Professional hackers can use dedicated technologies that search for vulnerable mobile devices with an open Bluetooth connection. Hackers can pull off these attacks when they are within range of your phone, up to 30 feet away, usually in a populated area. When hackers make a Bluetooth connection to your phone, they can possibly access your data and info, yet that data and info must be downloaded while the phone is within range. As you probably gathered, this is a more sophisticated attack given the effort and technology involved.

SIM card swapping
In August of 2019, the CEO of Twitter had his SIM card hacked by SIM card swapping scam. SIM card swapping occurs when a hacker contacts your phone provider, pretends to be you, and then asks for a replacement SIM card. Once the provider sends the new SIM to the hacker, the old SIM card will be deactivated, and your phone number will be effectively stolen. This means the hacker has taken control of your phone calls, messages, and so forth. This method of hacking requires the seemingly not-so-easy task of impersonating someone else, yet clearly, it happened to the CEO of a major tech company. Protecting your personal info and identity online can help prevent hackers from impersonating you to pull off this and other crimes.

Ten tips to prevent your phone from being hacked
While there are several ways a hacker can get into your phone and steal personal and critical information, here are a few tips to keep that from happening:

Use comprehensive security software on your phone. Over the years, we’ve gotten into the good habit of using this on our computers and laptops. Our phones? Not so much. Installing security software on your smartphone gives you a first line of defense against attacks, plus several of the additional security features mentioned below.
Update your phone and its apps. Aside from installing security software, keeping current with updates is a primary way to keep you and your phone safe. Updates can fix vulnerabilities that cybercriminals rely on to pull off their malware-based attacks. Additionally, those updates can help keep your phone and apps running smoothly while also introducing new, helpful features.
Stay safer on the go with a VPN. One way that crooks can hack their way into your phone is via public Wi-Fi, such as at airports, hotels, and even libraries. These networks are public, meaning that your activities are exposed to others on the network—your banking, your password usage, all of it. One way to make a public network private is with a VPN, which can keep you and all you do protected from others on that Wi-Fi hotspot.
Use a password manager. Strong, unique passwords offer another primary line of defense. Yet with all the accounts we have floating around, juggling dozens of strong and unique passwords can feel like a task—thus the temptation to use (and re-use) simpler passwords. Hackers love this because one password can be the key to several accounts. Instead, try a password manager that can create those passwords for you and safely store them as well. Comprehensive security software will include one.
Avoid public charging stations. Charging up at a public station seems so simple and safe. However, some hackers have been known to “juice jack” by installing malware into the charging station. While you “juice up,” they “jack” your passwords and personal info. So what to do about power on the road? You can look into a portable power pack that you can charge up ahead of time or run on AA batteries. They’re pretty inexpensive and easy to track down.
Keep your eyes on your phone. Preventing the actual theft of your phone is important too, as some hacks happen simply because a phone falls into the wrong hands. This is a good case for password or PIN protecting your phone, as well as turning on device tracking so that you can locate your phone or even wipe it remotely if you need to. Apple provides iOS users with a step-by-step guide for remotely wiping devices, and Google offers a guide for Android users as well.
Encrypt your phone. Encrypting your cell phone can save you from being hacked and can protect your calls, messages, and critical information. To check if your iPhone is encrypted can go into Touch ID & Passcode, scroll to the bottom, and see if data protection is enabled (typically this is automatic if you have a passcode enabled). Android users have automatic encryption depending on the type of phone.
Lock your SIM card. Just as you can lock your phone, you can also lock the SIM card that is used to identify you, the owner, and to connect you to your cellular network. Locking it keeps your phone from being used on any other network than yours. If you own an iPhone, you can lock it by following these simple directions. For other platforms, check out the manufacturer’s website.
Turn off your Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when not in use. Think of it as closing an otherwise open door. There are several attacks that a dedicated and well-equipped hacker can make on devices where Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are open and discoverable. Likewise, while not a hack, some retailers will track your location in a store using Bluetooth technology for marketing purposes—so switching it off can protect your privacy in some situations as well. You can easily turn off both from your settings and many phones let you do it from a pulldown menu on your home screen as well.
Steer clear of third-party app stores. Google Play and Apple’s App Store have measures in place to review and vet apps to help ensure that they are safe and secure. Third-party sites may not have that process in place. In fact, some third-party sites may intentionally host malicious apps as part of a broader scam. Granted, cybercriminals have found ways to work around Google and Apple’s review process, yet the chances of downloading a safe app from them are far greater than anywhere else. Furthermore, both Google and Apple are quick to remove malicious apps once discovered, making their stores that much safer.

https://apnews.com/article/europe-ransom...0ed41ad934    Massive police sweep across Europe takes down ransomware networks and arrests 4 suspects    BY  MIKE CORDER
Updated 12:47 PM ADT, May 30, 2024

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Police coordinated by the European Union’s justice and police agencies have taken down computer networks responsible for spreading ransomware via infected emails, in what they called the biggest-ever international operation against the lucrative form of cybercrime.

The European Union’s judicial cooperation agency, Eurojust, said Thursday that police arrested four “high value” suspects, took down more than 100 servers and seized control of over 2,000 internet domains.

The huge takedown this week, codenamed Endgame, involved coordinated action in Germany, the Netherlands, France, Denmark, Ukraine, the United States and United Kingdom, Eurojust said. Also, three suspects were arrested in Ukraine and one in Armenia. Searches were carried out in Ukraine, Portugal, the Netherlands and Armenia, EU police agency Europol added.

It is the latest international operation aimed at disrupting malware and ransomware operations. It followed a massive takedown in 2021 of a botnet called Emotet, Eurojust said. A botnet is a network of hijacked computers typically used for malicious activity.    Europol pledged it would not be the last takedown.

“Operation Endgame does not end today. New actions will be announced on the website Operation Endgame,” Europol said in a statement.

Dutch police said that the financial damage inflicted by the network on governments, companies and individual users is estimated to run to hundreds of millions of euros (dollars).

“Millions of people are also victims because their systems were infected, making them part of these botnets,” the Dutch statement said.

Eurojust said that one of the main suspects earned cryptocurrency worth at least 69 million euros ($74 million) by renting out criminal infrastructure for spreading ransomware.

“The suspect’s transactions are constantly being monitored and legal permission to seize these assets upon future actions has already been obtained,” EU police agency Europol added.

The operation targeted malware “droppers” called IcedID, Pikabot, Smokeloader, Bumblebee and Trickbot. A dropper is malicious software usually spread in emails containing infected links or attachments such as shipping invoices or order forms.

“This approach had a global impact on the dropper ecosystem,” Europol said. “The malware, whose infrastructure was taken down during the action days, facilitated attacks with ransomware and other malicious software.”

Ben Jones, CEO at Searchlight Cyber, a company that provides intelligence on the dark web, hailed the operation as an example of how international cooperation can crack down on cybercrime.

“Where cybercriminals previously used their ability to operate across borders to evade the arm of justice, operations like Endgame — coordinated across multiple jurisdictions — demonstrate that this evasion tactic is increasingly untenable,” Jones said in comments emailed to The Associated Press. “Law enforcement’s net is widening and the ‘safe zones’ for cybercriminal activity are becoming harder and harder to come by.”

Dutch police said that the actions should alert cybercriminals that they can be caught.

“This operation shows that you always leave tracks, nobody is unfindable, even online,” Stan Duijf, of the Dutch National Police, said in a video statement.

The deputy head of Germany’s Federal Criminal Police Office, Martina Link, described it as “the biggest international cyber police operation so far.”

“Thanks to intensive international cooperation, it was possible to render six of the biggest malware families harmless,” she said in a statement.

German authorities are seeking the arrest of seven people on suspicion of being members of a criminal organization whose aim was to spread the Trickbot malware. An eighth person is suspected of being one of the ringleaders of the group behind Smokeloader.

Europol said it was adding the eight suspects being sought by Germany to its most-wanted list.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/co...r-BB1mVKuF    Consumer-grade spyware found running on hotel guest PCs contains serious security flaw that lets anyone see recent screenshots
Story by Dallin Grimm • 16h • 2 min read    Three US-based Wyndham hotels have been found running spyware on their guest check-in computers, according to a report from TechCrunch. The presence of the spyware is even more problematic than it sounds, as a serious security vulnerability that allows the entire internet to access its recordings has been found in the program.

The computers were all found running "pcTattletale", a program that belongs to a grade of spyware apps known colloquially as "stalkerware". Stalkerware lives on a device in secret — it runs without being seen but collects information on device usage (gaining its name from its most dangerous potential use case).  pcTattletale is billed as an app for secretly monitoring children or employees — it takes screenshots of the device and uploads them to the cloud for review by the installer.    Eric Daigle, the security researcher who first discovered the program on the hotel computers, also discovered a dangerous security problem with pcTattletale. As is common for poorly-programmed spyware programs, pcTattletale contains insecurities that can be exploited. Unlike most spyware programs, the simple pcTattletale hosts a critical vulnerability "allowing any attacker to obtain the most recent screen capture recorded from any device on which PCTattletale is installed".

Any further details than this would reveal the vulnerability, so Daigle is refraining from elaborating further until pcTattletale responds to his correspondence on patching the flaw. The screenshots found by Daigle of the hotel computers leaked online reportedly include names, reservation details, and partial credit card numbers of guests. It is still unknown how the app ended up on the check-in PCs; one hotel manager reportedly did not know that the app was installed, Wyndham refused to comment on the software, and Booking.com speculated it could have been downloaded as part of a phishing scam.

The security flaw in the spyware highlights the danger inherent in stalkerware such as pcTattletale or the popular Life360, which are advertised to parents as safe ways to "[let] you understand your child's online world without them ever knowing," according to pcTattletale's website.

And yesterday's spyware could be tomorrow's flagship feature with Microsoft's new Recall app coming to Copilot+ PCs this June. Like consumer-grade stalkerware, Recall will take screenshots of your computer every few seconds to help you remember your browsing in case you forget where you saw something. Recall will keep all screenshots on the local storage of the PC, so it will avoid the same dangers as pcTattletale, but the obvious security risks inherent in the software are drawing investigation from the UK government.

Inspired by the lock screen clock under Windows 10 / 8.1!

Made on multiple user request, with the thought of the lock screen clock, which appears in Windows 10 / 8.1 at login, showing the time and date when logging in the left corner, so that the similar clock appears on the Windows desktop. 

So I've done my best and developed this desktop clock a little bit and implemented it for all Windows operating systems, now also for all MS-OS and not only for Windows 10 desktop, tablet PCs and MS Surface Pro / GO.

It really is a very decorative desktop digital clock that displays the local time and date on the desktop.

The basic functions: overall transparency, size adjustment, custom font, as well as the selection of different Clock Themes, are available and can be customized.

According to personal needs and the ideas of the users, this Windows desktop clock will be extended in future.

Have fun with this nice Windows desktop clock. With under 200 KB a very small software, which is not a space waster on the hard disk or CPU / RAM waster.

A simple example for using the desktop clock

Start the desktop clock. The first time you see the desktop clock options. Just select the theme that you want.

After the program is open, move the desktop clock to the Windows desktop and customize the size of the desktop clock.

I have prepared some nice theme, because for the average user it is an impertinence to generate your own and already requires knowledge of an experienced Windows user.

You can change the digital desktop clock settings at any time using the To-Tray icon on the Windows Desktop Taskbar.  he Digital Clock Installation

Optional is the installable and portable version of the desktop digital clock in the download area. The digital desktop clock must be not installed, it can be conveniently started from the desktop, even without installation, and can be used immediately on all Windows operating systems. This digital desktop clock for Windows can be used as a portable application.

Nissan reveals ransomware attack exposed 53,000 workers' social security numbers
Graham CLULEY
May 17, 2024    Nissan North America has revealed that extortionists who demanded a ransom after breaking into its external VPN and disrupted systems last year also stole the social security numbers of over 53,000 staff.

The security breach occurred on November 7, 2023. Upon initial investigation, Nissan and external experts brought in by the firm found that although cybercriminals had accessed its systems without authorisation, the only data access had been mostly business-related. This was communicated to workers in a Nissan Town Hall meeting on December 5, 2023.

Unfortunately, Nissan now finds itself in the embarrassing position of having to warn workers that sensitive personal information was accessed by the hackers - including the names and social security numbers of over 53,000 current and former employees.  The car company warned staff in a data breach notification letter of the possibility of fraud or identity theft as a result of the breach, but has not seen any evidence that this has occurred to date.

Nissan has confirmed the accessed data does not include financial information related to the individual workers. The company has offered free 24-month credit monitoring and identity theft protection through Experian for affected employees.

It's not the first time that Nissan has suffered at the hands of hackers.

For instance, in December 2023, Nissan Australia and New Zealand suffered an attack by the Akira ransomware gang which exposed details belonging to 100,000 of the company's customers, dealers, and current and former staff.

Nissan estimated that around 10% of individuals affected had had some form of government identification compromised - including tax file numbers, driving licenses and passports.

In January last year, Nissan North America discovered a "severely mismanaged" server had leaked the proprietary source code of its mobile apps and marketing tools.  It later emerged that the server was "protected" by the username/password combination of admin:admin.

In the same month, 17,998 Nissan North America customers were affected by a breach at a third-party service provider.

And back in 2016, Nissan shut down its global websites after finding itself on the sharp end of a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack linked to an Anonymous protest about dolphin culling in Japan.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companie...r-BB1mmDRD    There's a new scam called 'smishing' that's incredibly sophisticated
Story by Ellie Hutchings • 21h • 2 min read    Courier service Evri has issued a warning over an increase in sophisticated scam messages, leaving customers wondering what ‘smishing’ is.

The warning refers to a huge rise in scam text messages which pose as the company and ask customers to enter personal and financial information.

Evri said it had seen a 174% increase in reported scams from April 2023 to April 2024.

The company adds that it has successfully closed down more than 5,000 scam sites in the last year, but cybercriminals are becoming more sophisticated.

The warning advises customers to look out for messages coming via iMessage, Apple’s messaging service, and Rich Communication Services (RCS), a similar technology used on Google Android phones.
Scam messages sent via these services are more difficult to detect because they are harder to flag than text messages for malicious links.

What is 'smishing'?
Smishing is an abbreviation of ‘SMS phishing’. While phishing refers to cybercriminals posing as legitimate institutions via email, smishing is the same practice but using text messages.

The purpose of both phishing and smishing is to obtain sensitive information or install malware.    Tell-tale signs of the scam messages include spelling and grammatical errors and a lack of personal greeting, with scammers often using ‘Dear Customer’ or ‘Dear [your email address]’ instead of using the customer’s name.

Meanwhile, ‘vishing’, or voice phishing, involves scammers using the telephone to impersonate reputable organisations and scam their victims.

If you think you’ve been a victim of this type of scam, you should talk to your bank or card provider immediately and report the scam to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040.

‘These criminals use the “spray and pray” method, taking advantage of the millions of parcels we deliver to households every day,’ said Richa Bhuttar, chief information security officer at Evri told This is Money.

‘They know sending thousands of messages every day means some of them are more likely to reach some people expecting a parcel.’

The messages often tell the customer that Evri is charging a ‘redelivery fee’ for a missed parcel – something the delivery service does not do.

In addition, these ‘smishing’ messages will not come from the usual Evri contact number.

Texts from Evri never show a mobile phone number, never ask for payment or include any links other than evri.link.

https://arstechnica.com/security/2024/05...e-purpose/    VPN BUSTER —
Novel attack against virtually all VPN apps neuters their entire purpose
TunnelVision vulnerability has existed since 2002 and may already be known to attackers.
DAN GOODIN - 5/6/2024, 5:35 PM      Researchers have devised an attack against nearly all virtual private network applications that forces them to send and receive some or all traffic outside of the encrypted tunnel designed to protect it from snooping or tampering.

TunnelVision, as the researchers have named their attack, largely negates the entire purpose and selling point of VPNs, which is to encapsulate incoming and outgoing Internet traffic in an encrypted tunnel and to cloak the user’s IP address. The researchers believe it affects all VPN applications when they’re connected to a hostile network and that there are no ways to prevent such attacks except when the user's VPN runs on Linux or Android. They also said their attack technique may have been possible since 2002 and may already have been discovered and used in the wild since then.

Reading, dropping, or modifying VPN traffic
The effect of TunnelVision is “the victim's traffic is now decloaked and being routed through the attacker directly,” a video demonstration explained. “The attacker can read, drop or modify the leaked traffic and the victim maintains their connection to both the VPN and the Internet.”


TunnelVision - CVE-2024-3661 - Decloaking Full and Split Tunnel VPNs - Leviathan Security Group.
The attack works by manipulating the DHCP server that allocates IP addresses to devices trying to connect to the local network. A setting known as option 121 allows the DHCP server to override default routing rules that send VPN traffic through a local IP address that initiates the encrypted tunnel. By using option 121 to route VPN traffic through the DHCP server, the attack diverts the data to the DHCP server itself. Researchers from Leviathan Security explained:

Our technique is to run a DHCP server on the same network as a targeted VPN user and to also set our DHCP configuration to use itself as a gateway. When the traffic hits our gateway, we use traffic forwarding rules on the DHCP server to pass traffic through to a legitimate gateway while we snoop on it.

We use DHCP option 121 to set a route on the VPN user’s routing table. The route we set is arbitrary and we can also set multiple routes if needed. By pushing routes that are more specific than a /0 CIDR range that most VPNs use, we can make routing rules that have a higher priority than the routes for the virtual interface the VPN creates. We can set multiple /1 routes to recreate the 0.0.0.0/0 all traffic rule set by most VPNs.

Pushing a route also means that the network traffic will be sent over the same interface as the DHCP server instead of the virtual network interface. This is intended functionality that isn’t clearly stated in the RFC. Therefore, for the routes we push, it is never encrypted by the VPN’s virtual interface but instead transmitted by the network interface that is talking to the DHCP server. As an attacker, we can select which IP addresses go over the tunnel and which addresses go over the network interface talking to our DHCP server.

A malicious DHCP option 121 route that causes traffic to never be encrypted by the VPN process.
Enlarge / A malicious DHCP option 121 route that causes traffic to never be encrypted by the VPN process.
Leviathan Security
We now have traffic being transmitted outside the VPN’s encrypted tunnel. This technique can also be used against an already established VPN connection once the VPN user’s host needs to renew a lease from our DHCP server. We can artificially create that scenario by setting a short lease time in the DHCP lease, so the user updates their routing table more frequently. In addition, the VPN control channel is still intact because it already uses the physical interface for its communication. In our testing, the VPN always continued to report as connected, and the kill switch was never engaged to drop our VPN connection.

The attack can most effectively be carried out by a person who has administrative control over the network the target is connecting to. In that scenario, the attacker configures the DHCP server to use option 121. It’s also possible for people who can connect to the network as an unprivileged user to perform the attack by setting up their own rogue DHCP server.

The attack allows some or all traffic to be routed through the unencrypted tunnel. In either case, the VPN application will report that all data is being sent through the protected connection. Any traffic that’s diverted away from this tunnel will not be encrypted by the VPN and the Internet IP address viewable by the remote user will belong to the network the VPN user is connected to, rather than one designated by the VPN app.

Interestingly, Android is the only operating system that fully immunizes VPN apps from the attack because it doesn't implement option 121. For all other OSes, there are no complete fixes. When apps run on Linux there’s a setting that minimizes the effects, but even then TunnelVision can be used to exploit a side channel that can be used to de-anonymize destination traffic and perform targeted denial-of-service attacks. Network firewalls can also be configured to deny inbound and outbound traffic to and from the physical interface. This remedy is problematic for two reasons: (1) a VPN user connecting to an untrusted network has no ability to control the firewall and (2) it opens the same side channel present with the Linux mitigation.

The most effective fixes are to run the VPN inside of a virtual machine whose network adapter isn’t in bridged mode or to connect the VPN to the Internet through the Wi-Fi network of a cellular device. The research, from Leviathan Security researchers Lizzie Moratti and Dani Cronce, is available here.
