This week Brett interview he founder of the world's first data savings account and data wallet ecosystem, Andre Vellozo of Drumwave. Vellozo makes a compelling case that GDPR and data privacy regulations won't work in the age of AI, that we need data ownership structures and the ability to monetize our data, especially related to digital twin models like AI-based healthcare. Drumwave maintains that owning your own data and deploying it in the emerging autonomous world might eliminate the need for UBI and other such proposals. Do you know where your data is? 

"Privacy engineering is the art of translating privacy laws and policies into code, figuring out how to make legal requirements such as ‘an individual must be able to request deletion of all their personal data' a technical reality.", was the elegant explanation from Cat Easdon when asked about what she is doing in her day job.If you want to learn more then tune in to this episode. Cat, Privacy Engineer at Dynatrace, shares her learnings about things such as: When the right time is to form your own privacy engineering team, why privacy means different things for different people and regulators and what privacy considerations we specifically have in the observability industry so that our users trust our services!Links:Cat's LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/easdon/Publications from Cat: https://www.dynatrace.com/engineering/persons/catherine-easdon/Blog on Managing Sensitive Data at Scale: https://www.dynatrace.com/news/blog/manage-sensitive-data-and-privacy-requirements-at-scale/Semgrep for lightweight code scanning: https://github.com/semgrep/semgrepThe IAPP: https://iapp.org/'Meeting your users' expectations' is formally described by the theory of contextual integrity: https://www.open.edu/openlearncreate/mod/page/view.php?id=214540Facebook's $5 billion fine from the FTC: http://ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2019/07/ftc-imposes-5-billion-penalty-sweeping-new-privacy-restrictions-facebookFact-check: "The $5 billion penalty against Facebook is the largest ever imposed on any company for violating consumers' privacy and almost 20 times greater than the largest privacy or data security penalty ever imposed worldwide. It is one of the largest penalties ever assessed by the U.S. government for any violation." I think that's still true; the largest fine under the GDPR was €1.2 billion (again for Facebook/Meta)

In this podcast episode, host Michelle Frechette is interviewed by Macus Burnette to introduce "WP Trail Buddies," Michelle's initiative to help newcomers at large WordCamp events feel welcome and connected. The program pairs first-time attendees with experienced veterans for mentorship and support, easing anxiety and fostering community. Michelle shares her own WordCamp experiences, explains how the free, volunteer-driven project works, and discusses the broader importance of mentorship in the WordPress community. The conversation highlights the value of inclusion, friendship, and support, encouraging listeners to join and help make WordCamps more accessible for everyone.Top Takeaways:WP Trail Buddies Is a Volunteer-Led Mentorship Program: Michelle Frechette created WP Trail Buddies as a free, volunteer-based initiative to pair WordCamp veterans with newcomers to help them feel more comfortable at large flagship events like WordCamp US. The program is powered by free tools like Google Forms and WordPress.com, and even includes GDPR-compliant data practices. Although unsponsored, some organizations like Newfold have volunteered to provide swag like stickers and pins.The Focus Is on Flagship and Large WordCamps—for Now: Due to Michelle managing the project solo, WP Trail Buddies is currently limited to larger WordCamps (typically 250+ attendees). While open to expanding to other events in the future—like WordCamp Canada—the priority is on keeping things manageable and scalable. She's open to conversations with other camps that may want to adopt the model.WordCamps Are About Community and Belonging: Michelle emphasized how transformative WordCamps have been for her personally—from knowing no one at her first WordCamp Buffalo to attending nearly 100 events and mentoring others. She and Marcus both stressed that the true value of WordCamps lies in the friendships, mentorship, and support network built over time. Programs like Trail Buddies help foster this sense of inclusion from the start.Mentioned In The Show:WP Trail BuddiesWPIncludes.meThe WP World

University of Galway spin-out Lua Health has officially launched its next-generation, AI-powered, workforce wellbeing intelligence platform. Founded in 2023, Lua has pioneered proprietary AI algorithms capable of accurately detecting early indicators of declining wellbeing based on how a person writes. Lua is fully GDPR-compliant and 100% anonymised, integrating seamlessly with enterprise communication tools like Microsoft Teams and deploying in under a week. Designed for enterprise scale, Lua delivers a real-time, evidence-based solution for organisations ready to move from reactive care to proactive, precision-led wellbeing. New employee wellbeing platform created by Lua Health By discreetly analysing written language across workplace communication platforms, Lua identifies early signs of stress, burnout, and disengagement - without accessing private messages or individual identities. Employees may receive personalised, opt-in prompts to support self-awareness, while leaders gain aggregated insights at the team, department, or location level. The result is timely, data-driven intervention that improves outcomes and prevents issues before they escalate. A spin-out of University of Galway's Business Innovation Centre and Insight, the Research Ireland Centre for Data Analytics, Lua was founded by University alumnus Dr Mihael Arcan. Dr Mihael Arcan, founder and chief executive of Lua, said: "While it is about identifying issues as early as possible, it is also about creating a workplace that is appealing and placing a priority on attracting and retaining talent." Lua has been backed by Enterprise Ireland's commercialisation fund and private investment company Growing Capital. Gianni Matera, Founder of Growing Capital, said: "With Lua, organisations can move from reactive care to precision wellbeing - building healthier, higher-performing teams. We are proud to support Lua's mission to help individuals better understand and manage their wellbeing before issues become crises." Lua's technology is research-driven, interdisciplinary innovation at the intersection of AI and psychology - designed to deliver measurable wellbeing outcomes, reduce attrition, and demonstrate clear return on investment. Lua combines behavioural science, data analytics and enterprise technology to deliver a disruptive approach to organisational wellbeing. By passively analysing written language and interaction patterns within enterprise communication platforms like Microsoft Teams, Lua detects early indicators of stress, burnout and disengagement. These insights enable precisely targeted, personalised interventions, improving outcomes while reducing the burden on internal teams. Lua is helping forward-thinking companies deliver personalised, data-informed support at scale. One such partnership is with the CPL Group, a consultancy business that explores, questions and designs future work solutions. Maria Souza, Future of Work Institute, CPL Group, said: "Lua presents a highly impressive and insightful approach. What stood out most is the significant value it can deliver through its methodology alone." See more breaking stories here.

In this thought-provoking episode of the Nomad Futurist podcast, co-hosts Nabeel Mahmood and Phillip Koblence sit down with Kemal Hawa, partner at Kirkland & Ellis LLP, for an insightful exploration of digital infrastructure's evolution and the legal frameworks shaping its future. With decades of experience spanning data centers, fiber, submarine cables, towers, and beyond, Kemal guides listeners through the transformation of the communications ecosystem, from the early days of telecom to the rise of data centers as a critical, standalone industry. Along the way, he highlights how legal practice has evolved from broad generalism to deep specialization: “You need to have a fundamental understanding of the technology, the competitive landscape, and the client's business — including the risks and challenges they face.” The conversation dives into pressing industry challenges, from navigating GDPR and data sovereignty to the increasing demand for localized infrastructure driven by privacy and power constraints. Kemal also weighs in on the delicate balance between IT outsourcing and maintaining control, underscoring the friction between fast-moving innovation and slow-moving regulation: “Technology moves much, much faster than any legislative or regulatory process… Stick with broad principles and objectives rather than trying to regulate specific practices.” The discussion expands to AI's explosive impact on infrastructure and energy demand, with Kemal addressing the legal and operational hurdles that lie ahead. Despite the complexity, his outlook is optimistic: "In the next 50 years, there is almost zero chance that there'll be any material decline. There could be periods of stagnation... but the need for our devices, our content, is not going anywhere. In fact, it's just going to continue to proliferate.” Kemal closes with a powerful call to action for the next generation, encouraging young professionals to explore careers in digital infrastructure.

Il Ministero delle Infrastrutture ha comunicato in una nota di aver emanato un decreto che disciplina i contrassegni identificativi per i monopattini elettrici. Si tratta, spiega il MIT, di «una sorta di targa personale». Sono passati quasi 15 mesi da quando la Cassazione ha fatto deflagrare il problema della mancata omologazione degli autovelox, ma ancora non si vede una soluzione all’orizzonte. Prima di partire per le vacanze, se si intende affrontare un lungo viaggio in auto, è bene essere aggiornati su queste e altre novità, senza dimenticare naturalmente di verificare nel modo giusto lo stato di salute e la manutenzione della propria vettura. Facciamo il punto con il nostro ospite: Silvio Scotti - esperto di codice della strada per Il Sole 24 ORE.Nella prima parte della trasmissione, come ogni venerdì, torna lo spazio della Squadra Antitruffa Serpente Corallo, che questa settimana si concentra su due approfondimenti.Phishing sofisticatoIl ruolo dell’IA generativa nei casi di phishing vocale, gli obblighi normativi rilevanti (GDPR, direttive UE, ecc.), e le misure pratiche che aziende e istituzioni possono adottare per mitigare simili attacchi.

För att kunna använda internet behövs en DNS-tjänst. Det är en tjänst som kan liknas vid internets motsvarighet till kontaktlistan i mobilen. Tack vare kontaktlistan i mobilen behöver du inte komma ihåg krångliga telefonnummer. Kontaktlistan översätter mellan namn och nummer åt dig. En DNS-tjänst gör samma sak för domännamn och IP-adresser. Du behöver inte komma ihåg IP-adressen till nikkasystems.com eftersom din DNS-tjänst letar upp IP-adressen åt dig helt automatiskt. Du kan själv välja vilken DNS-tjänst som du vill skicka dina domänuppslag till. Som standard används DNS-tjänsten som din internetoperatör har tilldelat dig, men du kan välja en annan för att exempelvis få filtrerade svar. DNS-filtrering kan skydda dig mot webbplatser som är kända för att sprida skadeprogram. Om din dator ber om IP-adressen till en känt skadlig domän svarar en filtrerande DNS-tjänst att den inte hittar någon tillhörande IP-adress, vilket i sin tur förhindrar att din dator ansluter till den skadliga webbplatsen. Din dator kan helt enkelt inte hitta dit. Under de senaste åren har EU finansierat utvecklingen av en EU-baserad och GDPR-förenlig DNS-tjänst med filtreringsfunktion. Tjänsten kallas DNS4EU. Tess och Nikka pratade om projektet i början av 2022, och i veckans poddavsnitt återvänder Peter och Nikka till ämnet. Nu har nämligen tjänsten lanserats och gjorts tillgänglig för allmänheten. DNS4EU är helt kostnadsfri och erbjuder flera olika filterfunktioner. Tjänsten uppfyller också hygienkraven för en säker och integritetsvärnande DNS-tjänst, med ett undantag. DNS4EU har ingen nolloggningspolicy. I veckans poddavsnitt berättar Nikka varför det oroar honom samt varför ”oroskryddan” från 2022 kvarstår: vad händer om DNS4EU utnyttjas för att censurera internet?

Send us a textEffective data classification isn't just about regulatory compliance—it's the foundation of your entire security program. Whether you're preparing for the CISSP exam or leading security initiatives at your organization, understanding how to identify, categorize, and protect sensitive information is critical to your success.This episode dives deep into the world of sensitive data management, breaking down the fundamental frameworks and approaches you need to master. Data classification might seem deceptively simple on the surface, but implementing it effectively requires navigating complex regulatory environments, understanding technical controls, and driving cultural change within your organization.We begin by exploring what constitutes sensitive data across different industries—from financial institutions prioritizing monetary data to healthcare organizations safeguarding patient information. You'll learn about key regulatory frameworks like GDPR and HIPAA, their specific requirements, and the substantial penalties for non-compliance. The episode provides a practical breakdown of classification schemes in both government and private sectors, with actionable advice on simplifying these systems to improve employee compliance.Most importantly, we address the critical human element of data protection. Without clear ownership and responsibility, sensitive information falls victim to the "tragedy of the commons"—accessible to everyone but protected by no one. The episode outlines strategies for assigning data ownership and implementing controls throughout the entire information lifecycle, from creation through disposal.Along the way, we examine an emerging privacy concern with Microsoft's Copilot "recall" feature that captures screenshots of everything you do on your computer. This real-world example perfectly illustrates the constant tension between innovation and privacy that security professionals must navigate daily.Whether you're just starting your security journey or looking to refine your approach as a seasoned professional, this episode provides the practical knowledge you need to build robust data protection strategies that balance security requirements with business needs.

Foundations of Amateur Radio Just over a year ago, the ARRL, the American Radio Relay League, the peak body for amateur radio in the United States and one of the oldest of such organisations, experienced an incident. During the weeks following, the ARRL was tight-lipped about the extent of the incident and most amateurs only really noticed that services were off-line or slow to respond. After months of delay and disinformation, the ARRL finally revealed that it was the subject of a ransomware attack and that it had paid a million dollar ransom. It went on to blame the authorities for its silence. Mind you, it didn't tell me personally, it made public statements on its website. Similarly when I specifically contacted the ARRL to discover what information of mine it held, and what the status of that information was, the ARRL responded that I should refer to its public statements. It continued to state that my information was not compromised, since it only lived in LoTW, the Logbook of The World, the system it uses to coordinate the verification of amateur radio contacts, which are used to distribute awards like the DXCC and Worked All whatever. Imagine my surprise when I received an email this week, sent from "memberlist@arrl.org" to my non-amateur radio email address. I confirmed with several amateurs that they too received this email. Informative, to a point, but likely well beyond anything intended by its author, it stated that LoTW was being updated with associated down time, incidentally, inexplicably, coinciding with the 2025 ARRL Field day, and it "will be fully migrated to the cloud". It went on to solicit donations. It made no reference whatsoever to the ransomware attack. There's a lot hidden in that email. Although the attack last year was linked to the outage associated with LoTW, the ARRL has continued to claim that the LoTW data was not impacted by the ransomware attack, but the email reveals that the system is being migrated to the cloud, in other words, right now, it's not in the cloud. Which begs the question, where is the server infrastructure for LoTW today, and more importantly, where was it a year ago when its systems were compromised? From a public post by Dave AA6YQ, dated the 2nd of February 2021, in response to a message about a January LoTW committee meeting, we know that the LoTW server "now employs the current version of an SAP database engine". A month before that, Dave wrote another informative email that indicated that 105 thousand callsigns submitted logs to LoTW in the last 1,826 days or the five years between 2016 and 2021. There were logs from 21 thousand callsigns in the week prior to that January post. In all, according to Dave, there were 153,246 callsigns who submitted contacts to LoTW. The LoTW committee meeting minutes are no longer available from the ARRL website, but I have a copy. The document states that there were 1.2 billion contacts entered into LoTW, big number right? The next line tells us that this resulted in 262 million QSO records. I wonder what happened to the other billion records? This activity was generated by 139 thousand users using 200 thousand certificates. For context, every VK callsign automatically comes with an AX callsign, but LoTW requires that you separately register each with its own certificate. As someone who has been playing with databases since the 1980's I can tell you that LoTW is a tiny database. For comparison, the WSPR database is an order of magnitude larger, not to mention, more active. I have no insight into the business rules within the LoTW database, but the fact that updates are being processed in batches and that it regularly has delays indicates a level of complexity that I cannot account for. As an aside, the LoTW committee document lists 10 members. Dave is not one of those listed. It makes me wonder who else has access to this database. Note that I have no reason to believe that Dave's information is questionable, nor that he has access that he shouldn't, he was after all a member of the LoTW committee from 2013 until 2017 when the ARRL removed all development resources from the LoTW. I'm asking who else has access and why? While we're here, who has been doing maintenance and updates on this system over the past seven years? Moving on. The database for LoTW contains information from amateurs all over the planet, including those in Europe where the GDPR, the General Data Protection Regulation, enacted in 2016, is extremely strict on the security and disclosure of personal data with very heavy penalties for breaches. The GDPR requires notifications be sent within 72 hours of a breach, and that an organisation must designate a data protection officer. I wonder who has that role at the ARRL and I wonder if they told anyone? Did any European amateurs receive personal notification from the ARRL about their data, I know I didn't. My first activation of LoTW was in 2013, now twelve years ago. I received certificate expiry messages in 2016 and 2019. Since then there have been no such messages. That's unsurprising, since I stopped using LoTW once I discovered just how broken it was. Don't get me started on portable and QRP variants of my callsign. My care factor is low as to when I last actually used it, since attempting to dig up that information would take considerable effort, but I can guarantee that it was before 28 October 2019, when the last certificate expired. You might come to this point and ask yourself why am I digging into this at all? Let me ask you some questions in addition to those I've already mentioned. SAP, the database system which apparently runs LoTW, had 254 CVEs, or Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures listed, in 2020 alone. It continues to have exploits. When was SAP updated and is it up to date today? Is it credible that LoTW wasn't compromised during the ransomware attack? Does the ARRL know this for sure, or did it just not detect the compromise? We know that LoTW was down during the incident and according to the UptimeRobot service showed outages on the 14th of May 2024 but we still don't know exactly when this attack started. As you might know, the ARRL is also the headquarters for the IARU International Secretariat, the administration body for the global representation of our hobby. It presumably shares infrastructure with the ARRL, but at no point in the past year have we been advised of the impact of this breach to the IARU. What information is stored in LoTW and why has the ARRL continued to ignore requests for disclosing the specific information it holds on the users of that system? I know for sure that it knows my callsigns and my email address. I also know for sure that it required identity documents to prove my identity and right to use those callsigns. I have been told in writing that LoTW never deletes anything, so what does it store and can I delete all my records and if-so, how? Why did I receive an update about the upgrade for LoTW when I'm clearly not an active user of the system? The memberlist@arrl.org is used for all manner of services, including the propagation updates, and the three other ARRL bulletins. In other words, this address is used for a myriad of messaging. Is this information stored in a database and if so, where is this database? Was it compromised? What information is stored in that database? Are my details in that database, are yours? While discussing this LoTW update email with other amateurs, I was informed by one amateur that even after they stopped being a member of the ARRL, as a direct result of the ransomware attack and the discontinuation of the delivery of QST magazine they paid for, the ARRL continued to send regular email updates as-if they were still a current member. Where is that data stored and how are the ARRL not considered a source of SPAM? While we're exploring the blurred lines between being a member of the ARRL and not, why did it send the update about the incident via email to its members on 21 August 2024 and update the website a day later, and why did it not send that same email to me and every other amateur directly? Why does the ARRL continue to ignore its obligations in relation to the personal information it clearly and demonstrably holds? The GDPR has been a fact of life since 2016. It's not optional if you store data for European citizens, but the ARRL doesn't even mention it on their privacy policy page. Did European users receive specific notification about the breach, now a year ago, which clearly the ARRL had both the capacity and obligation to? Has the GDPR been invoked by European amateurs? Should it? You could attempt to explain all this as incompetence or mismanagement. That's a response, but it doesn't pass the sniff test. For example, implementing SAP is a non-trivial process. I have over 40 years professional experience in the ICT field and I'm not sure I would stick up my hand to have a go at doing this. Mind you, if I did, there's no way I'd choose SAP, I'd find an open source solution, but that's just me, not to mention that SAP license costs are significant, this in an organisation asking users for donations. The thing is, we're talking about a system that's now at least 22 years old, running in an organisation that's been around for over a century, an organisation that deals in regulation and legalese at the very foundation of its existence. In other words, there's a massive amount of legal and technical skill and history available within the organisation, but we're still seeing this level of at best questionable, at worst illegal behaviour. I'm not a member of the ARRL and nothing I've seen to date makes me want to give them any of my money. If you are, perhaps you should be asking some questions. If you're a citizen of Europe, perhaps you should start asking some questions about your data. If you pay money to your own peak body, then you should ask it to find out what happend at the IARU International Secretariat during the attack. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

Merry Marwig is the VP Global Communications & Advocacy at Privacy4Cars. Merry is a pro-consumer, pro-business privacy advocate who is optimistic about what data privacy rights mean for everyday people — and for the companies they do business with. At Privacy4Cars, she helps protect drivers' and passengers' personal data while creating business opportunities for automotive companies. In this episode… Modern cars are like computers on wheels, collecting and storing data just like smartphones or laptops. Unlike those devices, however, vehicle data is often left unencrypted and persists long after a car is sold, rented, or reassigned. This is especially problematic for businesses that use corporate cars, rental vehicles, fleet vehicles, or personal vehicles for work purposes. Sensitive information such as contact lists, text messages, navigation history, and even security credentials can remain stored in vehicles long after they change hands, posing significant privacy, security, and even physical safety risks. To take control of sensitive data, companies need to establish data deletion policies for all vehicles used in a business context. This includes requiring rental agencies and fleet management providers to delete stored data and offer certificates of deletion when cars are returned or decommissioned. Companies should also require automotive providers to provide VIN-specific data disclosures so drivers understand what data the vehicle collects and how it's used and shared. Additionally, companies need to consider how privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA apply to vehicle data collection and use it to inform their internal policies and third-party contracts. In today's episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels talk with Merry Marwig, VP Global Communications & Advocacy at Privacy4Cars, about the privacy and security risks of data collected and stored in vehicles. Merry explains how cars used for work, whether rental, fleet, or personal, retain unencrypted personal and company data that can be exploited when vehicles change ownership or are decommissioned. She shares real-world case studies involving sensitive information left behind in cars, including banking credentials, contact lists, and patient health records. Merry also outlines how data deletion policies and VIN-specific disclosures, required through contracts with automotive providers, help companies reduce privacy and security risks.

Tara Haig, General Counsel at Multiverse, joins Scott to reflect on a legal career driven by curiosity, courage, and instinct. From saying yes to opening a New York office two years post-qualification to leading legal, privacy, and governance for one of the UK's most prominent edtech scale-ups, Tara's story is all about leaning into discomfort, and figuring it out along the way. Now part of the exec team at Multiverse, a $1.7B AI-powered apprenticeship platform, Tara shares her take on three big lessons: embracing stretch opportunities (even when terrifying), understanding the commercial engine behind your business, and showing up with authenticity. Whether it's tackling GDPR in lockdown, raising a SPAC, or managing legal complexity across Series A to D growth, she's built a legal career that's anything but linear. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating scale-up chaos, growing their team, or trying to stay grounded while building something big. Tara also shares candid reflections on working from Kenya, raising twins, and why perspective, and permission to say no, is as important as saying yes. Guest Recommendations: • Book: Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez • Podcast: Pivot with Kara Swisher & Scott Galloway • Podcast: The Rest is Politics About Heriot Brown: At Heriot Brown, we help lawyers find fulfilment in their careers.

In this episode, Peter breaks down a major announcement from Iagon, a decentralised cloud storage provider building on Cardano, which has seen its IAG token spike in price following news of a collaboration with CloudCourt and advisory support from the Ford Motor Company. The partnership explores a proof of concept aimed at storing sensitive legal data using decentralised infrastructure—a key use case for compliance-heavy industries.The solution being tested combines off-chain encrypted data storage with on-chain access control and audit trails, helping meet stringent data protection regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR. This hybrid design ensures data sovereignty (e.g. storing data within national borders), robust security, and long-term cost savings compared to traditional centralised solutions. The concept is particularly relevant for law firms and large corporates that need to manage vast volumes of confidential legal documents like depositions and trial transcripts.Peter explains that Ford's involvement—while in an advisory capacity—brings valuable enterprise-level perspective, especially given its extensive legal operations. This project not only validates Iagon's use of blockchain for regulated environments, but also marks a significant milestone for Cardano in attracting Fortune 50-level interest.To top it off, there's a teaser: a second Fortune 50 company may also be involved in the near future. Speculation points towards the healthcare sector, given the solution's alignment with HIPAA compliance needs.Overall, this collaboration signals the growing maturity of Cardano's enterprise utility, showcasing how decentralised storage and blockchain can be practically applied in sensitive, high-compliance sectors.
