The UN is under no legal obligation to report such breaches, but data protection advocates say the lack of transparency carries grave risks.

Customers’ trust and their data, which is more important to a company? “As the American organizational consultant, Warren Bennis, stated: “Trust is the lubrication that makes it possible for organizations to work”, growing customers’ faith has once been the most important thing for the survival of a business. But as time goes by, it seems that a new kind of business strategy that violates the trust-first dogma has been formed, and it should be known as the “data-first” strategy since the top priority of it is to gather customers’ data…” https://bit.ly/2ZUMykT #data #privacy #trend #technology #datascience #business #businessstrategy #dataeconomy #businesstip #privacyaware #onlineprivacy #cybersecurity #cybersecuritythreats
Like it or not, customers’ data has become the new gold for today business, and consequently it’s time for all of us, both consumers and enterprises, to rethink about where’s the thin line between normal data use and data abuse. In the rest of this article, we’ll point out a few directions where people can be looking at this problem, and hopefully it can help you to obtain your own answer.
Brain Computer Interface (BCI)
Brain-computer interface (BCI) is a technology that agree to communicate between a human-brain with an external technology. The term can be referred to an interface that takes signals from the brain to an external piece of hardware that sends signals to the brain. There are different brain-computer interface technologies developed, through different methods and for diversified purposes, including in virtual reality technology.
Benefits of Brain Computer Interface
Despite BCI being in its initial stage of development, it is expected to provide several benefits to its users in various fields. Some of the major benefits of BCI are as follows:
Watchdog Which? wants Google to be more transparent about security updates for old phones.
A team of scientists in China has linked quantum memories over more than 30 miles (50 kilometers) of fiber optic cable, beating the previous record by more than 40 times over. This feat is an important step toward a hack-proof internet, scientists said.
The internet we use today was truly a revolutionary invention. It connected the world with information and allowed us to share millions of photos of cute and cuddly cats. But the internet is also filled with hackers trying to intercept important or sensitive information. To fight back, physicists have come up with a solution, with a little help from Schrödinger’s cat, the famous, hypothetical dead-and-alive feline meant to expose the weird nature of subatomic particles.
DNA hacking could save humanity—or destroy it. Author Jamie Metzl joins Inside the Hive to discuss the future of designer babies.
Rapporteur warns against trivialising psychological torture as states exploit internet to target individuals.
The credit agency Equifax was compromised by a cyberattack that permitted China’s military to steal names, Social Security numbers and other personally identifiable information.
Facial recognition technology is likely not as safe as you may have thought. This was illustrated by a recent test where 3D printed busts of peoples’ heads were used to unlock smartphones.
Out of five tested phones, only one refused to open when presented with the fake head.
Other biometric security measures are also showing less resilience to hacking than you might expect. A group of Japanese researchers recently showed it was possible to copy a person’s fingerprints from pictures like the ones many of us post on social media.
