Shi Yu,

your article is very similar to many articles who came one after Iphone 6 came out with the fingerprint login button. Everyone was talking back then about how Apple was collecting fingerprints of millions of customers all over the world. However, the people knew that an important sensitive information (Fingerprint) can be used against…[Read more]

Fred,

It is very interesting post especially when the source is someone like Sara Guo which is an investor at venture capital firm Greylock Partners, I think she talks from experience from a results of auditing so many companies that she’s trying to invest on. I do agree that so many companies nowdays are not awarded of the risk of losing…[Read more]

Richard,

I am not really a big fun of UBER company, I don’t believe that they operate their business ethically, your post makes me don’t like this company even more. However, there are so many companies track our lives just because we use their apps. It is very scary as Neil said to give someone the permission using your own fingure to have…[Read more]

Donald,

It’s became very risky to have all these devices that work tirelessly at our homes. I believe as Elizabeth mentioned this is a very normal thing to happen especially when you deal with protocols we use at home that can be easy to break. In my opinion, it will be interesting to see new technologies that will help us to secure our home…[Read more]

Donald;
I feel that by now all the hackers have our sensitive information. After Target and Pizza Hut, this is the turn to Amazon’s Whole Foods Market Suffers Credit Card Breach In Some Stores which means so many customers lost already their credit card information including sensitive information such as Full names and Zip codes.

Again, this i…[Read more]

Elizabeth,

I do have a hard time too to find good cyber topics that were not covered in the past by other students. However, your topic is very interesting, not only for new Cyber Security students, for all Cyber Security students. There is high demand for people in this field which encourage us to work hard since there is potential grow in…[Read more]

Richard,

Thank you for such article. This type of information leakage is worst that losing some other sensitive information such as Full names and addresses, I am saying this because the attackers who were able to get this important information that is including logs of all these vehicles stops would be able to know the daily activities and…[Read more]

Neil,

The answer to this question is very important. In my opinion, these companies don’t want to announce these incidents at the time they get attacked, I think they like to know the consequences first and how much damage these attacks can result.

They are big organizations that deal with sensitive information all the time, they know the…[Read more]

Joseph,

Thank you for the interesting article. I watched this TV documentary that talks about this am zing technology (Autonomous Air Taxi (AAT)). This is really a good solution that will solve the transportation issues especially in big cities like New York and Dubai. However, I know that UAE will start this service officially in five years…[Read more]

Richard,

I did read an article that is related to your post and talks about CCleaner. According to that article CCleaner comes with two different version, a version you have to purchase and a free one. After this security problem, the company was able to develop an update by exclusively for the pay version. This is a big problem for the people…[Read more]

Donald,

Again, One of the three major consumer credit reporting agencies was attacked by hackers who were able to access to more than 134 Million people sensitive information. According to the New York Times, this is the third cyber security attack since 2015 and and one of the largest risks to the personal sensitive information. This large…[Read more]

Jonathan,

Very important topic. Your article touches a very sensitive area of cyber security. I did read another article related to the one you shared, Which talks about how China wants every person and company runs its IT resources (Hardware or software) using the country network to give the government the access to those resources. As…[Read more]

Amanda,

I do believe that cyber attacks are not only an IT problem but it can be a big business problem. A good example of that, when Target’s customers credit cards database attacked in 2013, not the only IT department was influenced because it has to work on securing the organization system, but the company lost so much business since the…[Read more]

Jonathan,
Very interesting topic reminds us again with the fact that we became living with so much technology that put as under risk of losing our belongs. On the top of securing our homes that contain nowadays all these devices we call them smart and connected to the internet, now we have to worry about our cars just because they are full of…[Read more]

Elizabeth,
Sharing this type of articles is very important to educate people and small companies to think more about creating their own IT security departments that would be in charge of educating employees and protecting their IT infrastructures. I believe these types of articles give a strong sign to these small companies to think seriously…[Read more]

Amanda,
The issue of having these big companies losing sensitive information is really scary. I think they have to be good examples to other organizations regarding securing data. After Equifax leakage, I won’t be surprise if Accenture confirm in the future of losing sensitive information that is related to this incident. I learned from other…[Read more]

Richard,
I think this kind of leak is very normal, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has to update the software on the encrypted system-on-ship with a new version that can be stronger. I am not too sure how much recent this technology, but it will be a big issue if it has been in the IT world for a long time. I like…[Read more]

Elizabeth,
In my opinion this law has many advantages and disadvantages, It will give the government a control of people activities over the internet which can target any people who are trying to do something wrong. At the mean time there is a big disadvantage since this law will touch the privacy of citizens who are now afraid to speak up freely…[Read more]
