DRM-roll for consumer privacy protection - Network World - 0 views

  • Through DRM technologies, consumers engaging in electronic commerce could grant vendors and suppliers a license to access and utilize certain aspects of the consumers’ data. This would enable a consumer to grant a read/write license to some creditors, perhaps as a function of a mortgage agreement, and provide a read-only license to a limited subset of the data for simple transactions such as shipping agreements and online orders. Such a license would empower consumers to prevent entities from misusing or reselling consumer information.

Web Posts May Make You Vulnerable To Crime : NPR - 0 views

  •  
    It's fun to brag when you're at a great bar or going off on vacation. Social networking sites and location-based apps have made it easy to broadcast that kind of information to your friends. The problem is that you may not just be making your friends jealous, but supplying criminals with useful information as well. A new Web site called PleaseRobMe.com has drawn attention to the issue by repurposing posts from foursquare, a social networking site that lets people share the latest about their whereabouts. PleaseRobMe demonstrates that it's easy for anyone to find out you're not at home - and therefore, are presenting an "opportunity" for burglary. "There are physical and economic safety risks when you're publicizing to the world where you are," says Kevin Bankston, a senior staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation. "It's obviously a treasure trove of information for criminals. PleaseRobMe is a good demonstration of how easy it is."

FTC warns firms, organizations of widespread data breach - 0 views

  • The FTC declined to identify the companies or organizations involved, but said they were both "private and public entities, including schools and local governments." The companies and organizations ranged in size from "businesses with as few as eight employees to publicly held corporations employing tens of thousands," the FTC said in a statement. It said sensitive data about customers and employees had been shared from the computer networks of the companies and organizations and made available on Internet peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing networks. The information was accessible to "any users of those networks, who could use it to commit identity theft or fraud," the FTC said. "Unfortunately, companies and institutions of all sizes are vulnerable to serious P2P-related breaches, placing consumers' sensitive information at risk," FTC chairman Jon Leibowitz said. "For example, we found health-related information, financial records, and drivers' license and social security numbers -- the kind of information that could lead to identity theft," Leibowitz said.

Browser history hijack + social networks = lost anonymity - 0 views

  •  
    Simply joining a few groups at social networking sites may reveal enough information for hackers to personally identify you, according to some recent computer science research. In a paper that will be presented at a security conference later this year, an international team of academics describes how they were able to build membership sets using information that social networking sites make available to the public, and then leverage an existing attack on browsing history to check for personal identity. That information, they argue, can then be combined with other data to create further security risks, such as a personalized phishing attack.

Best Home Alarm Systems and Alarm Reviews - 0 views

  •  
    Let's face it - with the proliferation of company "microsites," it's awfully hard to find an unbiased review of a product or service these days. The same goes for home security systems, as most of them are run by the alarm companies themselves. If you search for "best home security system" how do you know half the results aren't run by a giant alarm company (hint: they are)? Here at A Secure Life, it all began when our analyst's neighbor's house was broken into. Their neighborhood had become increasingly insecure, so we began our search for a solid alarm system provider. http://www.asecurelife.com/best-home-alarm-system
