Sensitive
Information of Millions of Panama Citizens Leaked
… As
Security Discovery researcher Bob Diachenko discovered during his
investigation, the data was leaked because the Elasticsearch cluster
storing it was not properly configured, allowing anyone with an
Internet connection to access it using a web browser.

infographic to help my students understand data.
Personal
Data and the Organization: Stewardship and Strategy
Personal
data – used lawfully, fairly, and transparently – is central to
helping organizations achieve their missions. Today, Boards of
Directors, CEOs, policymakers, and others need to understand the wide
range of data inputs, the broad scope of risks and benefits, and how
privacy and ethics are at the center of an organization’s ability
to fulfill its leaders’ vision. Traditionally, privacy was
considered a legal and compliance matter, but now it is a fundamental
concern because of emerging issues such as advertising practices,
content standards, global data flows, concerns about civil rights,
law enforcement cooperation, ethics, community engagement, research
standards, and more. With these trends in mind, FPF has created an
infographic that
shows:
- The complexities of how organizations collect and use data
- The risks involved
- How principled data stewardship supports the goals of innovation, growth, brand development, and social responsibility.

Alexa
Guard is coming soon for all Echo owners in the US
Amazon’s
Alexa Guard feature is now rolling out in the US, following an
invite-only preview that lasted a few months. This free update lets
your Echo speaker listen for signs of danger in your home while
you’re away. [How do I know this works only while I’m away? Bob]
Sounds like glass breaking (caused by a burglar or a moody cat) or a
smoke alarm going off will trigger Alexa to send out Smart Alerts
consisting of audio clips. If your Echo has a built-in camera, it
will show a direct video feed into your home.
In
addition to listening, Alexa Guard can also mimic your daily smart
light usage, switching the lights on and off to make it seem like
you’re home. Amazon notes that Alexa Guard isn’t meant to be a
replacement for an alarm system, and it isn’t able to alert
authorities.
Now,
this is really concerning.
United
States Congress Creates AI Task Force
“Today,
Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA), Chairwoman of the House Committee
on Financial Services, announced
the creation of a Task Force on Artificial Intelligence chaired by
Congressman Bill Foster (D-IL).
… The
Task Force on Artificial Intelligence will examine issues including:
- Applications of machine learning in financial services and regulation
- Algorithms and Big Data: emerging risk management perspectives
- AI, Digital Identification Technologies and Combatting Fraud
- Automation and its impact on jobs in financial services and the overall economy.”
You
should really try this. It’s not bad. (No doubt my students will
find this “homework helper.”)
Use

Ask it a question (by formatting your input like this: “Q: What
should I do today?”), and it’ll happily respond.

Amazon
Will Put UPS Out of Business
The new machines, known as the CartonWrap from
Italian firm CMC Srl, pack much faster than humans. They crank out
600 to 700 boxes per hour, or four to five times the rate of a human
packer, the sources said. The machines require one person to load
customer orders, another to stock cardboard and glue and a technician
to fix jams on occasion.
… “A ‘lights out’ warehouse is
ultimately the goal."
… TechCrunch
reports Amazon
Offers Employees $10K and 3 Months Pay If They Quit.
But
there's a catch. They have to start their own delivery business
instead.
… It's
clear where this is headed: Amazon will directly compete with UPS and
FedX.
If
Amazon can offer retailers reduced costs and faster delivery, why
wouldn't businesses take it?
