Capital
One Judge Skeptical That Breach Report Is Privileged
Law360
reports:
A Virginia federal magistrate judge tackling discovery issues in the sprawling litigation over Capital One’s massive 2019 data breach appeared unconvinced during a hearing Friday morning that consumers suing the bank are barred from seeing a cybersecurity firm’s report on the event.
Consumers within the multidistrict litigation are pushing to get hold of an incident report compiled in the wake of the event by prominent cybersecurity consultant Mandiant.
Capital One says that the analysis is privileged information because it was prepared to assist the bank’s legal counsel in the onslaught of litigation that followed the breach, though U.S. Magistrate Judge John F. Anderson seemed unconvinced of that during Friday morning’s virtual hearing on the dispute.

Osborne reports:
The rollout of facial recognition cameras in London is facing disruption as citizens are now using face coverings that could potentially incapacitate the technology.
[…]
The police force is reportedly considering a pause on the scheme as so many in the capital are now wearing face masks. The UK government has urged citizens that need to use public transport — including crucial tube, bus, and train networks in London — to wear face coverings to help reduce the spread of COVID-19.

Guide
to Videoconference Services
Consumer
Reports – How
to choose the right platform for work-from-home meetings or more
casual virtual get-togethers:
“For many of us, videoconferencing has morphed from an
occasionally used tool into part of our daily routine, for both work
and staying in touch with family, doctors, teachers, and friends.
When we were in the office, the decision about which platform to use
was often made by the IT department. Now, increasingly, it’s our
call. The first step to picking a service is to get real about how
you want to use it. If you’re just holding small, simple group
meetings, try a consumer-grade video chat app, such as Apple
FaceTime, Google Duo, or Facebook’s new Messenger rooms. But if
you’re hosting larger meetings that require presentation features
like document-sharing or whiteboarding, the next step up is a free
version of the major business-oriented platforms, such as Cisco
Webex, Google Meet (a replacement for Hangouts), Microsoft Teams
(which will replace the company’s Skype), or Zoom. The host (or
the host’s organization) is the only one who needs to register with
a service and pay, if there’s a fee. We discuss the pros and cons
of major services below, but you shouldn’t discount the importance
of familiarity. If you’re used to a particular platform from the
office, it’s likely to work for you at home, too…”

Galloway predicts a handful of elite cyborg universities will soon
monopolize higher education
Intelligencer:
“WeWork on its “seriously loco” $47 billion valuation a month
before the company’s IPO imploded. Now, Galloway, a Silicon Valley
runaway who teaches marketing at NYU Stern School of Business,
believes the pandemic has greased the wheels for big tech’s entrée
into higher education. The post-pandemic future, he says, will
entail partnerships between the largest tech companies in the world
and elite universities. MIT@Google.
IStanford,. HarvardxFacebook. According to Galloway, these
partnerships will allow universities to expand enrollment
dramatically by offering hybrid online-offline degrees, the
affordability and value of which will seismically alter the landscape
of higher education. Galloway, who also founded his own virtual
classroom start-up, predicts hundreds, if not thousands, of
brick-and-mortar universities will go out of business and those that
remain will have student bodies composed primarily of the children of
the one percent. At the same time, more people than ever will have
access to a solid education, albeit one that is delivered mostly over
the internet. The partnerships he envisions will make life easier
for hundreds of millions of people while sapping humanity of a
face-to face system of learning that has evolved over centuries. Of
course, it will also make a handful of people very, very rich. It
may not be long before Galloway’s predictions are put to the test…”
