- Airlines Don't Want You to Know They Sold Your Flight Data to DHS [404media.co]
"A data broker owned by the country’s major airlines, including Delta, American Airlines, and United, collected U.S. travellers’ domestic flight records, sold access to them to Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and then as part of the contract told CBP to not reveal where the data came from, according to internal CBP documents obtained by 404 Media. The data includes passenger names, their full flight itineraries, and financial details."
- A Researcher Figured Out How to Reveal Any Phone Number Linked to a Google Account [wired.com]
"A cybersecurity researcher was able to figure out the phone number linked to any Google account, information that is usually not public and is often sensitive, according to the researcher, Google, and 404 Media’s own tests.”
"The issue has since been fixed but at the time presented a privacy issue in which even hackers with relatively few resources could have brute-forced their way to peoples’ personal information."
- Feds Respond to Virginia Lawmakers' Privacy Concerns About Airports' Facial Recognition Screening [virginiamercury.com]
Nathaniel Cline reports how "identification screening technology that launched during the pandemic to reduce airport check-in times has helped improve security and travelers’ experiences, but carries a privacy concern stemming from the capture and storage of passengers’ photos.”
"'Travelers deserve both speed and security when it comes to travel, but it’s not at the expense of their privacy,' says Technology and Innovation Committee Chair Cliff Hayes, D-Chesapeake."
