Backdoors that let cops decrypt messages violate human rights, EU court says
Cops have alternative means to access encrypted messages, court says.
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has ruled that weakening end-to-end encryption disproportionately risks undermining human rights. The international court's decision could potentially disrupt the European Commission's proposed plans to require email and messaging service providers to create backdoors that would allow law enforcement to easily decrypt users' messages.
This ruling came after Russia's intelligence agency, the Federal Security Service (FSS), began requiring Telegram to share users' encrypted messages to deter "terrorism-related activities" in 2017, ECHR's ruling said. A Russian Telegram user alleged that FSS's requirement violated his rights to a private life and private communications, as well as all Telegram users' rights.

How to Use This Free Tool to Catch Hackers When They Access Your Files

It works by embedding your file with a special tracking URL that alerts you through email when opened. Just like how honeypots work, the idea is to place a tracker disguised as a regular file on your device. When a hacker opens the file, a hidden link is opened, alerting you to the breach.
