Security Circus : Mr Rotenberg actually gets a lot of points wrong No, actually, all of them I don't think this is really a case about ISP liability at all it's even worse, it's about personal liability of the directors of a service provider It is a case about the use of a person's image, without their consent, that generates commercial value for someone else That is the essence of the Italian law no, this is wrong The use of a person image without their consent is the core of the law In particular if such an image betrays an health condition, as this was the case The generation of commercial value is absolutely meaningless for the Italian personal data protection code Funny that the op-ed writer posts a link to it without actually quoting from it Also, the author spectacularly misses the point, which in this case was whether or not a service such as Google Video needs to obtain the consent, or if it can rely on the poster to do so The video at the center of this case was very popular in Italy and drove lots of users to the Google Video site once again, not true the video was seen just several thousand times This boosted advertising and support for other Google services not true Google Video, at that time, did not host advertising, nor generated revenue Google actually had an incentive not to respond to the many requests it received before it actually took down the video not true It was actually demonstrated in the case that Google took down the video hours after receiving the first complaint The video stayed online for some time because no one complained earlier So the whole point of the article is moot, wrong and has nothing to do with reality Studying the court documents as opposed to just reading the prosecutor's opinion, which is obviously quite partial, and rightfully so would help op-ed writers write the truth, as opposed to their own or someone else's opinion http wwwhuffingtonpostcom marc-rotenberg brandeis-in-italy-the-pri_b_481115html http://www.secuobs.com/revue/news/200448.shtmlhttp://www.secuobs.com/revue/news/200448.shtml 2010-03-10 20:43:46 -

Roger Halbheer on Security : This morning I opened one of the Swiss Sunday newspapers and Google Chrome made it to the front-page with a best practice approach for deploying security updates In the article itself it was claimed that Chrome is one of the best browsers with regards to security as the deploy patches silently, without letting the user know, even if Chrome is not running and there is no way to disable this Here are some of similar stories Report Using silent updates boosts browser security Google Chrome updates without asking Google is Wise, Chrome Updates Silently Give me a break here I am really tired of hearing those things When Chrome shipped, three things actually hit my inbox Chrome was shipped in a Beta with a few pretty significant vulnerabilities in, which were known for quite a while like the carpet bombing flaw The excuse by Google was it is just a beta Tell me please, how you would comment if we would have done the same with Windows 7 I got quite some mails by angry customers and journalists telling me that Chrome found a way around User Account Control as Chrome installs without UAC kicking in Journalists called as they claimed to have found a severe vulnerability , customers called as they were angry with us as Chrome simply popped up all over the place in their network even though their user were non-admin Well, well, Chrome simply installs an executable in the user context Directories which the user has write permissions So, for sure Chrome can install really bad practice in my opinion There was a pretty strange paragraph in the EULA which was then removed later And now the silent patching A few years back, when we designed Windows XP SP2 we talked about switching Automatic Updates on by default This caused a lot of people screaming and telling us that it is unacceptable to switch AU on by default which we actually do in the meantime We recently updated the Windows Update client and it caused a lot of you to scream and tell us that it is unacceptable for us to silently update a component on Windows And we heard you loud and clear And now I hear that Chrome is best practice because they silently fix security vulns And you cannot even switch this off So, what is the policy the industry shall follow I agree that the most secure way for consumers would be to automatically fix security vulns This is actually what I tell my parents Simply install security updates This is for consumers and there is an option Not having an option is unacceptable at least for me Additionally, again for the consumer, having Anti-Malware being part of the Operating System out of the box and enable by default would be desirable However, this is not acceptable today for competition reasons So, what I do not get is why people do not look at these problems holistically and more from a policy perspective rather than from a company by company perspective Silently installing components without even giving me the option to choose is not acceptable today for me but I want to have the option to do it if I want And finally I would question the enterprise-readiness of such software At least, I would never deploy it in an enterprise environment Roger http://www.secuobs.com/revue/news/198414.shtmlhttp://www.secuobs.com/revue/news/198414.shtml 2010-03-05 12:02:46 -

EFF.org Updates : This week, an Italian magistrate convicted three Google employees for an Internet video that none of them had produced, uploaded, or even seen The case arose from an Italian video that was uploaded in 2006 to Google Video, which showed a disabled child being bullied by other schoolchildren An advocacy organization and the boy's father in Milan pushed for a criminal prosecution a local prosecutor decided to pursue a case against four individual Google employees In the decision, a defamation charge was dropped, but three of the named executives were found guilty of a charge related to Italy's privacy laws, and each sentenced to a six month suspended sentences We may not see the Italian decision stand for long, and cannot imagine a similar case happening in most Western countries But it represents a growing temptation of courts and lawmakers worldwide to find excuses to strip away the protection the law grants to Internet intermediaries It's also an intimation of the very serious consequences to the Net and free speech if those safe harbors are weakened Europe has, in theory at least, at the EU level, strong protections for Internet intermediaries in its E-Commerce Directive Article 14 of that directive provides that hosting providers are not responsible for the content they host, as long as they are not informed of its illegal character, and they act promptly when informed of it Article 15 clarifies that hosts do not need to monitor hosted content for potentially illegal content This judgement guts both these principles The court dismissed the allegation of criminal defamation but upheld a charge of illegally handling personal data on the basis that a video is personal data, and that under EU data protection law, Google needed prior authority before distributing that personal data This interpretation of the law means that Google is co-responsible for the legality of content containing the images of persons -- before anyone has complained about the content That effectively means to comply with the decision, any intermediary working within Italy must now pre-screen every piece of video with anyone who appears within it, or risk prosecution As the judgement stands, it also presents such a wide definition of personal data that it might effectively require that all hosts pre-screen all content be it video, text, audio or data The unconscionable fact that this prosecution is of individuals, while devastating for those involved, is only part of the problem The whole Internet relies on the fact that third-parties can carry messages without having to self-police, interfere with those messages or take responsibility for millions of others' communications The Net is made of intermediaries, and attacks on the safe harbor protections for those intermediaries is under way across the world In China, it's called ISP self-discipline In the United States, it's rightsholders demanding secondary or even tertiary liability for infringement by users, or loopholes in net neutrality, or attempts to weaken the protections of CDA 230 Italy may choose to unfairly victimize three American executives in this case, but the openness of the entire Internet risks becoming a victim if the safe harbors are compromised elsewhere http://www.secuobs.com/revue/news/196347.shtmlhttp://www.secuobs.com/revue/news/196347.shtml 2010-02-27 10:42:11 -

Slashdot Your Rights Online : upto0013 notes the latest spot of trouble for Google in Europe the EU says that Google's Street View images violate privacy laws The EU's privacy watchdog asked Google to notify cities and towns before photographing Google says it does this already and to delete original photos after 6 months Google keeps them for a year and says it has reason to do so The privacy official said that the company should revise its 'disproportionate' policy of keeping the original unblurred images for up to a year, saying improvements in Google's blurring technology and better public awareness would lead to fewer complaints and a shorter delay for people to react to the photos they see on the site Complaints about the images put online would usually be checked against the original photos IMAGE IMAGE IMAGE Read more of this story at Slashdot IMAGE IMAGE IMAGE http://www.secuobs.com/revue/news/195999.shtmlhttp://www.secuobs.com/revue/news/195999.shtml 2010-02-26 03:27:13 -

Hack In The Box : The RIAA has made some bizarre and totally nonsensical arguments in its time, but it may have just set a new low castilho points us to an opinion piece written by RIAA boss Mitch Bainwol that tries to pin the blame for the Chinese hack of Google on Google's opinion towards copyright Seriously Of course, the logical leaps and bounds you have to go through to make this sort of statement is a bit crazier than your average roller coaster, and in the process Bainwol seems to be implying both that those who give away anything for free are against content creation and that getting hacked actually has something to do with copyright law In January, Chinese hackers infiltrated the systems of the biggest technology dog on the global block and, according to the company, stole Google's intellectual property I see where you're going with this, but to compare hacked code being copied with fans sharing music neither of which, by the way, is actually stealing is so far off-base that it's guffaw-inducing In Google's case, this was information for private use -- not something protected by intellectual property law that it was trying to sell The two situations are entirely different and, unlike Mitch Bainwol, the folks at Google clearly do understand the difference http://www.secuobs.com/revue/news/195748.shtmlhttp://www.secuobs.com/revue/news/195748.shtml
