NZ: OPC finds leading cause of privacy breaches is human error
Catherine Knowles reports:

Privacy Commissioner John Edwards says, “We are seeing clear patterns emerging since mandatory reporting of serious privacy breaches came into effect with the Privacy Act 2020 on 1 December last year.”
Since reporting of serious privacy breaches became a legal requirement, OPC has seen a nearly 300% increase in privacy breach reporting compared to the same 11-month period the year before.

The risks associated with vendors not appropriately deploying security measures can be seen with the increasing number of data breaches resulting from an issue at the vendor level. Given that reality, what should or should not happen at each vendor level?

A group of researchers from Princeton University and the University of Washington has teamed up to create an extremely small camera about the size of a coarse grain of salt. Cameras of such small size have excellent potential for exploring inside the human body, among other things.
