A
story of credibility lost.
“We
take data protection very seriously,” New Zealand Friday edition
There
were two incidents concerning New Zealand leaks or breaches in my
news feed this morning. One of them caught my attention because the
story didn’t seem accurate — and not because the reporters
weren’t reporting accurately, but because the entity may not have
been fully transparent or accurate about the incident.
Makes
one wonder how dependent they are on facial recognition.
HOMELAND
SECURITY WORRIES COVID-19 MASKS ARE BREAKING FACIAL RECOGNITION,
LEAKED DOCUMENT SHOWS
WHILE
DOCTORS AND politicians
still struggle to convince Americans to take the barest of
precautions against Covid-19 by wearing a mask, the Department of
Homeland Security has an opposite concern, according to an
“intelligence note” found among the BlueLeaks
trove of law enforcement documents:
Masks are breaking police facial recognition.
Perspective.

Walmart
Sued Under CCPA After Data Breach
Walmart
has become the latest big-name brand accused of violating
California’s new data breach regulations.
The
retail giant is the subject of a new complaint alleging that
customers now face “significant injuries and damage” after an
unspecified incident.
Customer
names, addresses, financial and other information were among the haul
for attackers, according to the suit filed in the US District Court
for the Northern District of California.
“As
a result of defendants’ wrongful actions and inactions, customer
information was stolen. Many customers of Walmart have had their PII
compromised, have had their privacy rights violated, have been
exposed to the risk of fraud and identify theft and have otherwise
suffered damages,” the suit alleges.
“Further,
despite the fact that the accounts are available for sale on the dark
web, and Walmart’s website contains multiple severe vulnerabilities
through which the data was obtained, Walmart has failed whatsoever to
notify its customers that their data has been stolen.”
Although
it’s unknown at present how many customers were affected by the
incident, the filing claims that the number of class members is “at
least in the thousands.”
If
the maximum damages under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
are awarded, that means $750 per customer.
Something
ear-y about Van Gogh?
Van
Gogh’s paintings online
blooloop:
“The Van Gogh Museum’s website receives more than 8.5 million
visits every year. The new redesign is more than a place to find out
the museum’s opening times or to buy a ticket. Its new layout
allows visitors to explore the artwork of Vincent Van Gogh in more
detail and links seamlessly to retail. Content is displayed with the
user experience as its foundation. The Van Gogh Museum has now put
their entire collection of letters, paintings and drawings online.
Visitors to the new website will even be able to zoom in on each
artwork to see the brushwork. There will also be information about
which artwork is currently on display at the museum. A new filter
system means it is easy for visitors to search the collection online.
The new ‘Vincent for scale’ function allows visitors to
visualise the size of each painting compared to Van Gogh’s height
of 1.64 metres…”
Useful
techniques.
