The Data Download: Your personal data is a concern for national security
Sent by Joshua Katris | March 03, 2024
The Good
On February 28, 2024, the White House issued an Executive Order saying, “Hands off our Data!” The Order amplifies a trending position that the data of American citizens and national security are directly related.
The Bad
The same Executive Order issued by the White House omits any real, immediate legal obligations for any company.
The Ugly
Fidelity Investments Life Insurance notified ~28,000 individuals of a data breach at Infosys McCamish Systems, impacting personal information like SSNs and bank details.
Something to think about
The idea of sensitive data stems from our right to privacy, but privacy can mean different things to different people. Ultimately "sensitive" can be distilled down to any information that, if disclosed, could result in harm to the individual creating it.
It’s said that everyone has a price.
Is there a price that you would put on your data that would make you feel comfortable giving it away?
