Seems
trivial compared to an Equifax, but what if other school districts
are equally vulnerable?
Data Breach
Reported for San Diego Unified School District Students and Former
Students
San Diego Unified School District officials are
informing
parents and former students of a large data breach. Personal
data including Social Security numbers from as many as 500,000
students was compromised or possibly stolen, officials say.
The breach dating back to January 2018 was
uncovered in October by district IT employees who were investigating
phishing emails.
… "We
are not able to confirm, specifically, whether your personal data was
viewed or copied from our systems as a result of this incident.
We only know that the viewing or copying of some personal data was
possible or occurred between January 2018 and November 1, 2018,"
district officials state in the letter to parents.
Officials said the breach also
allowed the unauthorized person the ability to alter data
within those systems.

One of many.
Apple
received over 32,000 user data requests in six months
Apple's bi-annual transparency report is here and
it now has its own
interactive page on Apple's website.
As usual, it details the personal data requests Apple received from
governments worldwide. Only the new look makes it easier to review
and digest thanks to a slider at the bottom that lets you scroll
through report cards for each country. And if you're a fan of the
old ways, you can still download a PDF crammed with the same data.
According to the report, which covers the first
half of this year, Apple received 32,342 demands for user data from
governments -- up 9 percent from the previous period -- spanning
access to 163,823 devices. Germany made the most requests (42
percent), the majority of which were due to "stolen devices
investigations," issuing 13,704 requests for data on 26,160
devices.
The US was in second place with 4,570 requests for
14,911 devices.
There is something off” here. You would expect
more details about the two arrested – there are none. Did they
find the drones?
Gatwick

A 47-year-old man and a 54-year-old woman, from
Crawley, were arrested in the town at about 22:00 GMT on Friday.
… Sussex Police said it was continuing to
investigate the "criminal use of drones" and appealed for
information.
Perspective. Each Quarter, I ask my students if
they would ride. So far, not many takers.
Self-driving
car startup Zoox gets permit to transport passengers in California
While more
than 60 companies have received permits to test their driverless
vehicles in California, Zoox has become the first permitted to
actually transport people in those vehicles.
… During the testing period, Zoox
must have a safety driver behind the wheel and will not be
allowed to charge passengers for rides. And, as part of the program,
Zoox must provide data and reports to the CPUC regarding any
incidents, number of passenger miles traveled and passenger safety
protocols.
