In the news...
- Leaked Google Database Affects Cars Caught on Google Maps, Children's Privacy, and More [mashable.com]
Matt Binder reports on an internal database leak that "has revealed thousands of privacy incidents at Google over a span of six years, many of which had not been publicly known about before." The leaked privacy incident reports from Google employees "include a range of privacy issues across a number of Google products that affected a broad user base including children, car owners, and even video-game giant Nintendo."
- Privacy policies have gone insane. Doubt it? Consider Instacart [computerworld.com]
"In recent months, privacy policies have veered wildly off course. Instead of being a document that comforts customers/prospects that the company is protecting privacy as much as possible, many now spell out the most frightening scenarios possible — on the off chance the company opts to try any of them."
Evan Schuman explores Instacart's May 17th privacy policy update, which "gives it the right to retain and sell a wide range of customer details, including psychiatric diagnoses, birthdate/age and even license plate numbers."
- The Ticketmaster Data Breach May Be Just the Beginnin [wired.com]
Recent data breaches at Ticketmaster and Santander Bank have been linked to attacks against cloud provider Snowflake. "Security experts say that as more details become clear about hackers' attempts to access and take data from Snowflake’s systems, it is possible that other companies will reveal they had data stolen. At present, though, the developing situation is messy and complicated."
