Information Security & Occasional Forays Into Adjacent Realms
Graham Cluley has reported (from an original Wall Street Journal source report) a Google, Inc. (Nasdaq: GOOG) security SNAFU... This time, the failure of the so-called non-evil company to report a significant data custody failure within their so-called 'Google Plus' product, where - in fact - you are the product. The company's better-late-than-never blog post covers the issue, in somewhat less than effective detail...
via the inimitable Grant Cluley, writing for the BitDefender blog; in which, Mr. Cluley details the outcome of Snapchat's formerly confidential-closed-source code public appearance on Github (posted, of course, by miscreant(s) uknown)... Interestingly (once the take down was accomplished via a DMCA notification) the package ostensibly existed on Github for at least 60 days prior to the discovery... Sounds like egregious egress to us!
