All,
Well seems Google has again been exposed for it's errant
and inconsiderate as well as violation of privacy ways...
Shouldn't ICANN request in the best interest of users to temporarily
shut down Google until Google permanently fixes this and clearly
demonstrates it has done so? Or does ICANN fear the mighty
power of Google?!?
How can members of the public, trust Google or ICANN if Google
is allowed to continually disregard the publics privacy in light also
of Google purporting to be now handling Electronic medical records and
exposing users, especially the elderly, indigent children, and the
disabled, or their families, to massive potential fraud and/or medical
blackmail?
And FWIW, where is DOC/NTIA, USDOJ, and DHS on this?
I hope it is not "ho hum, twiddle my thumb"...
I for one and very glad SANS at least, is on the job! >:) Perhaps
they should be retained by ICANN, DOC/NTIA, USDOJ, and DHS
in a mentoring program on a VERY long term basis.
See from Sans:
(July 7, 2008)
Stolen sensitive personal data, including financial account information,
have been found to linger in Google caches for months even after the
server holding the stolen information has been disabled. Cyber
criminals collect information through keystroke loggers and store the
data on servers. When the servers are discovered, they are taken down,
but the Google pages are not unless specific requests are made. A
Google spokesperson said that in general, the company does not remove
cached information, but that it eventually disappears on its own after
the original source is no longer accessible.
