Logo GrapheneOS @GrapheneOS 14h Revolut recently banned using GrapheneOS without any justification. They're falsely claiming to do be doing it for security reasons. In reality, they're enforcing licensing Google Play. Revolut doesn't enforce security standards. It runs on Android 9 with no patches since 2018.

Aug 6, 2026 · 12:01 AM UTC GrapheneOS @GrapheneOS 14h Revolut is incredibly negligent when it comes to security. It includes a bunch of closed source third party libraries with privacy, security and compatibility issues. Several of these libraries supposedly exist to protect security but in fact create serious security weaknesses. GrapheneOS @GrapheneOS 13h GrapheneOS doesn't fail to meet any security standard they defined. It greatly exceeds the privacy and security of anything they allow. Revolut has instructed their customer support to make inaccurate claims about the security and compatibility of GrapheneOS to excuse banning it. GrapheneOS @GrapheneOS 13h GrapheneOS is far more secure than the most secure Android devices they permit. The security standards Revolut claims to be upholding are non-existent. The least secure devices they allow are outrageously bad. They go out of the way to support devices without updates for 8 years. GrapheneOS @GrapheneOS 13h If Revolut insists on doing a verification of the hardware, OS and app then they can use the hardware attestation API to verify GrapheneOS devices. They've received links to grapheneos.org/articles/atte… for years prior to their recent ban of GrapheneOS. They have no excuse to ban it. GrapheneOS attestation compatibility guide

However, it's still fully their intention to ban GrapheneOS and we've started seeing reports of users having issues logging in. It still consistently works when already logged in. GrapheneOS @GrapheneOS 12h This likely still works for most users:

1. Log into a throwaway Google account so basic integrity passes.
2. Install Revolut via the sandboxed Play Store so the installer check passes.

We'll be shipping a secure solution fixing apps with an installer check in the near future. GrapheneOS @GrapheneOS 11h Revolut specifically tries to detect and ban GrapheneOS. It has checks for the build user/value values we set for deterministic builds so we had to change those. They also ban yellow verified boot state (locked with non-stock key) but not orange (unlocked) which we worked around. GrapheneOS @GrapheneOS 11h Multiple traditional banks have started to specifically permit using GrapheneOS in addition to a Google certified OS. Revolut does the opposite.

TPG Telecom has confirmed a customer in Sydney died last week after a mobile phone could not make Triple Zero calls.

The telco says early investigations indicated the failed calls were due to a Samsung device operating on software that was not compatible with making Triple Zero calls on the network.

Samsung said on its website it had identified older mobile devices that do not "correctly connect to an alternative mobile network to make Triple Zero calls when the user's primary network is not available". Link copied

TPG Telecom says a Sydney customer died after outdated software blocked a Samsung phone from making Triple Zero (000) calls.

The telco said in a statement it was informed of the incident involving a person using a Lebara service on a Samsung device on November 13 by NSW Ambulance yesterday.

TPG Telecom said its mobile network was operational and no outages had occurred.

"Early investigations indicate that the failed calls were due to the customer's Samsung device operating on software that was not compatible with making Triple Zero calls on the network," the company said in a statement.

"Samsung recently identified that certain, older devices required a software update to enable Triple Zero functionality on TPG Telecom's mobile network."

The telco said when it became aware of issues with these handsets on its network, it told customers "to urgently update affected devices".

"Handsets not updated are blocked after a period of 28-35 days from the first contact to the customer, as required under new regulations," the company said.

In a statement, NSW Ambulance confirmed it received contact from the person "via an alternate phone connection" after they attempted to call Triple Zero, and paramedics responded immediately.

"We extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the patient," it read. Samsung customers 'strongly advised' to install latest software updates

Samsung said it was continuing to work closely with its carrier partners to ensure all devices operate reliably in emergencies.

"We strongly encourage customers to keep their mobile devices updated with the latest software, as this is critical to maintaining the highest standards of safety, security, and performance," the statement read.

Samsung said customers with devices requiring updates or replacements have been notified by their mobile carrier with instructions following the incident.

The company lists on its website dozens of devices that need to be updated or replaced to ensure users can make Triple Zero calls.

It said newer model phones were not affected.

Three people died in September after a technical failure on the Optus network meant Triple Zero calls were unable to go through.

Last month Telstra testing revealed some Samsung mobile phone users may be unable to call Triple Zero in an emergency with more than 70 models found not to be connecting correctly.

The issue affected 11 older model Samsung Galaxy phones which users would need to replace with newer devices, and about 60 models that required system updates, Telstra said.

TPG Telecom managing director and CEO Inaki Berroeta said customer safety was the company's "highest priority" and urged users of affected devices to update their software or replace them.

"This is a tragic incident, and our condolences and thoughts are with the individual's family and loved ones," he said.

"Access to emergency services is critical.

"We urge all customers with outdated software to replace or update their devices without delay to ensure they can reach Triple Zero in an emergency."

TPG Telecom said the communications minister, NSW Government, Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), Triple Zero Custodian and other relevant government and regulatory bodies had been notified of the incident. Investigation into Triple Zero compliance underway

Communications Minister Anika Wells said the "tragic situation" would be investigated.

"TPG's compliance with the Emergency Call Service Determination will be rigorously assessed by ACMA," she said in a statement.

ACMA said in a statement it would investigate whether there had been any non-compliance with the Triple Zero rules and enforcement action taken if any was found. Anthony Albanese and Anika Wells press conference

"Under rules introduced in 2024, telecommunications providers must notify their customers where the provider identifies that the customer's device may not be able to connect to triple zero and then take action to block those devices from their networks," it said.

Opposition communications spokesperson Melissa McIntosh said she was "really saddened" to learn of the death.

She said the warnings around connectivity issues with the Triple Zero network have been "loud and clear" for a month.

"We found out that there would be a number of Samsung handset devices that would not be compatible, and this goes all the way back to the botched-up, failed 3G network shutdown by the Albanese government," she said.

Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young , who is chairing a senate inquiry into the deadly Optus Triple Zero outage, said the probe would also look into the TPG failure.

“This squarely sits now at the feet now of the regulator and the government to fix Triple Zero because it's clearly not fit for purpose and not working to keep Australians safe. It shouldn't happen again," she said. Loading... Posted Mon 17 Nov 2025 at 10:49pm Monday 17 Nov 2025 at 10:49pm , updated 18h ago 18 hours ago

« La sécurité de la Suisse 2025 »: la confrontation mondiale a des répercussions directes sur la Suisse

Quand les agents secrets suisses tirent la sonnette d’alarme

DÉCLASSIFIÉ. Derrière une façade de neutralité, 440 agents du renseignement suisse surveillent les grandes puissances, les réseaux terroristes et les cybermenaces, afin de protéger le modèle helvétique.

Si le sujet n'était pas sérieux – on parle tout de même de terrorisme, de guerre en Ukraine, de cyberattaques, etc. –, on pourrait presque sourire. Et se moquer gentiment de nos voisins suisses sur le mode, « pour des gens qui aiment le secret, les Suisses sont tout de même étonnamment transparents… ». Et en effet : le document diffusé par le service de renseignement de la Confédération que Le Point a analysé en détail (et que l'on peut trouver ici) est un modèle du genre. Il permet de revisiter les clichés sur la Suisse et leur supposé amour du secret (notamment bancaire): leurs espions racontent en réalité beaucoup de choses à leurs concitoyens.

https://www.vbs.admin.ch/fr/src-securite-de-la-suisse-2025

Dans ce document, on découvre que les 440 « agents secrets suisses » du service de renseignement helvète disposent, pour assurer leur mission, d'un budget annuel supérieur à 110 millions de francs suisses (117 millions d'euros), ce qui est tout à fait conséquent par rapport à la taille du pays (à titre de comparaison, le budget de la DGSE – 7 500 agents – atteint 1 milliard d'euros, celui de la DGSI tourne autour de 200 millions). À LIRE AUSSI Les espions suisses, ces horribles machos

On apprend encore que les services secrets suisses sont l'un des tout premiers organismes fédéraux à avoir reçu un label qui célèbre ses « efforts en matière de politique familiale ». Ou encore, plus amusant, que ses agents – à 60 % masculins – sont amenés à voyager fréquemment « dans le monde entier »… Davos, Genève et les grandes conférences sous surveillance

On retiendra (sans surprise) que plusieurs événements sont particulièrement surveillés par les « espions suisses », comme le WEF (World Economic Forum, le forum de Davos, qui rassemble grands patrons et responsables politiques du monde entier) ou encore les sommets internationaux plus ou moins informels (pour tenter de trouver une issue à la guerre en Ukraine, favoriser la transition en Syrie, etc.).

La localisation en Suisse des sièges de l'OMS (Organisation mondiale de la santé) ou de divisions importantes de l'ONU constitue aussi « un hub », particulièrement surveillé par les services suisses. Genève est ainsi un « nid d'espions », confirment les espions de la confédération qui notent : « En Suisse, les services de renseignement russes et chinois vont continuer à mener des opérations dirigées contre des États occidentaux, y compris des activités et des préparatifs dans le cadre de la guerre hybride. Le risque que la Suisse soit utilisée pour préparer ou commettre des enlèvements, des actes de sabotage et des attentats à l'étranger augmente […] Il ne faut pas non plus s'attendre à ce que les activités d'espionnage de divers services de renseignement à l'encontre de leurs diasporas diminuent. Ces activités se focalisent sur les journalistes en exil et les personnes qui s'opposent au pouvoir politique dans leurs pays d'origine, ce qui leur confère de l'influence. »

À LIRE AUSSI La Suisse sonnée et apeurée après la gifle douanière de TrumpLa Suisse est aussi le terrain de jeu favori des espions du monde entier. « En matière d'espionnage, notent les espions de la Confédération, les services de renseignement des grandes puissances continuent de mener le jeu. Ils disposent d'immenses moyens humains, financiers et techniques. En Europe, la principale menace émane des services russes et chinois […] qui jouent également un rôle de premier plan dans le cadre d'autres activités, comme la répression transnationale, l'acquisition de biens, la propagande, les activités d'influence et, particulièrement dans le cas de la Russie, le sabotage et les assassinats ciblés, tant sur leur territoire national qu'à l'étranger […] La Suisse reste une zone d'opération privilégiée pour l'espionnage et d'autres activités de renseignement. »

Enfin, la Suisse est évidemment un partenaire majeur des agences étrangères. La confédération collabore avec les pays membres de la zone Schengen (elle en est membre). Bien que neutre, la Suisse échange aussi avec l'ensemble des services « amis » (ils ne sont pas nommés). Ces derniers ont demandé 14 472 renseignements sur un an… Quant à la Suisse, elle a demandé à ses « partenaires » (ils sont au nombre de 100) 3 600 informations sur des sujets la concernant. Enfin, au détour de quelques phrases du rapport, on apprend que les espions suisses ont transmis aux plus hautes autorités de la Confédération 31 rapports détaillés sur le terrorisme et 7 sur des dossiers « espionnage »… Enfin, sur 4 557 demandes d'accréditations de diplomates, la Suisse en a rejeté… 30. Neutralité suisse : un modèle sous pression

Mais le document ne se contente pas de diffuser des chiffres. Paraphé par Martin Pfister, conseiller fédéral et patron de l'un des sept départements de l'administration helvète qui coiffe la défense et « la protection de la population » (c'est une sorte de « super-ministre »), le document évoque l'ensemble des menaces auxquelles la Suisse doit faire face pour protéger son modèle. Et dresse ce constat : depuis quelques années, la Suisse, malgré sa neutralité, n'est pas à l'abri. À LIRE AUSSI De potentiels frais de douane sur l'or inquiètent la Suisse

Elle a « subi une très sérieuse dégradation sur le plan de la politique de sécurité. Cette évolution n'est pas un phénomène passager. C'est une tendance durable qui place notre pays devant des défis sécuritaires, politiques et sociaux », prévient Pfister pour qui « l'environnement politico-sécuritaire de la Suisse pourrait ainsi offrir une protection réduite à l'avenir ».

Le service de renseignement de la confédération évoque en détail et longuement la situation internationale. Guerre en Ukraine, stratégie chinoise, incertitudes aux États-Unis, etc. Mais si la Suisse est évidemment un acteur incontournable sur la scène internationale de par sa position de place financière d'envergure mondiale et sa neutralité, elle est aussi directement exposée. Terrorisme, exportations et cyberattaques : les nouvelles menaces

Premier risque : la menace terroriste. « Elle est élevée, disent les espions suisses qui notent que “les intérêts juifs et israéliens sont particulièrement exposés”. »

À Découvrir Le Kangourou du jour Répondre Autre risque important : la Suisse est utilisée comme plateforme par la Russie ou la Chine. En clair, l'industrie suisse fournit, sans forcément le savoir, l'armée russe. Elle dispose de rapports intenses avec certains pays « amis » de la Russie qui peuvent jouer le rôle d'intermédiaires. Or, explique le rapport « il est pratiquement impossible, pour les autorités suisses, de suivre les biens qui ont été produits par une machine-outil suisse […] Le SRC examine les chaînes d'approvisionnement de biens ne figurant pas sur les listes afin d'empêcher les transferts à grande échelle vers la Russie. Il sensibilise également les entreprises qui fabriquent en Suisse et au Liechtenstein des produits dont la Russie a besoin et qui se trouvent donc exposées aux tentatives d'acquisition ».

À LIRE AUSSI Pourquoi les hôpitaux français restent les cibles privilégiées des cybercriminels Reste les cyberattaques. « Elles constituent, affirme le rapport, une menace significative pour les exploitants d'infrastructures critiques en Suisse. La guerre contre l'Ukraine reste un facteur d'influence déterminant dans ce contexte : les cyberacteurs étatiques russes poursuivent souvent les intérêts stratégiques de la Russie dans le cadre de cette guerre. […] La Suisse est également prise pour cible par des acteurs étatiques iraniens et nord-coréens […] Ils exploitent par ailleurs des éléments d'infrastructure en Suisse, comme des serveurs, pour mener des activités de cyberespionnage ou des cyberopérations offensives dirigées contre des objectifs pertinents en matière de politique de sécurité dans des États tiers. Ces actions font peser un risque de réputation sur la Suisse, lequel peut également entraîner des coûts au niveau politique. »
