Survey Proves cyber hackers gaining ground -

According to a survey of 500 companies, law enforcement and government agencies executives, "The cybercrime has become one of the most significant threats to US companies. "

3 of 4 respondents said they had detected a security breach in the last year, and the average number of intrusions is 135 per organization. security breaches may lead to millions of credit cards and / or social security numbers and other identifying information to be compromised. the pirates then turn them into profit in the stolen data selling to foreign markets.

Although companies have spent considerable sums to prevent and prepare for security breaches, cyber crime is becoming more and more popular. Ed Lowry, responsible investigative efforts on cybercrime secret Service said: "the hackers are always one step ahead of new protocols and security software."

When businesses suffer, consumers suffer as well and cybercrime has affected the way consumers relate to these companies. When consumer data is stolen they become at risk of bank fraud and credit card as well as many other types of fraud. If customer data is stolen due to a security breach of the company, chances are consumers will take their business elsewhere.

However, not all identity theft is related to a security breach of the company. Individuals are at risk every day when buying online or sending sensitive data via email, IM, text, etc. Identity theft topped the list of complaints to the FTC for nearly a decade now.

Germany Reopens Investigation Facebook

Germany Reopens Investigation Facebook -

According to the NYTimes, investigators in Germany are re-opening an investigation of Facebook facial recognition technology. The investigation was suspended in June that officials tried to convince Facebook to change their policies and procedures. These efforts bore no fruit, and which resulted in Germany re-opening of the investigation. According to Johannes Caspar, the principal investigator, "We have met repeatedly with Facebook, but was not able to get their cooperation on this issue, which has serious implications for personal data."

the current technology of facial recognition is opt default and users and users have now explicitly opt-out to be removed from the program. Germany asked Facebook to destroy all the current database and users be selected initially and specifically opt-in if they wish to be included. Facebook denies that if they collect biometric data, it is legal in Ireland, where its European operations are headquartered, and they comply with all the laws of the European Union. Irish officials deny and say that discussions are ongoing.

If Germany continues to browse Facebook in court, they could refine Facebook up to 25,000 euros, or about 31,000 $, unless it chooses to destroy the database and change the system to opt-in from a single opt-out. Germany is struggling to establish its jurisdiction over Facebook that operations in the Hamburg office in Germany are limited to marketing and are not linked directly with the biometric data collection effort.

In an effort to clear up the muddy waters EU 'Senior Advisory Committee on Privacy ruled that the current biometric collection methods are illegal. That prompted Irish officials to reopen talks and harden their original position. Ciara O'Sullivan, a spokeswoman for the protection of Irish data agency, said they intended to publish the results of a new audit of Facebook's privacy practices in September.

While some nations have taken their proposals on the table, the ITU conference continues and there could still be a plan of Internet government regulation put forward. According webpronews.com, "... the US and the European Union have been aligned against the proposed changes to the way the internet is governed.

Despite this being said, there is more to be concerned with the ITU conference continues until December 14th. Stay tuned for updates.
