To be fair, some were giving the data away encrypted.
One recall covers 670,000 2006-2011 U.S. 3-Series vehicles to address a wiring issue for heating and air conditioning systems that may overheat and could increase the risk of a fire.
The second recall covers 740,000 U.S. 2007-2011 vehicles with a valve heater that could rust and lead to a fire in rare cases. The recall includes some 128i vehicles, 3-Series, 5-Series and X3, X5 and Z4 vehicles.
This is important because generally these recalls only happen in the US due to law suites, even though the danger is to all vehicles worldwide.
Many people worried that Google was scanning users’ documents in real time to determine if they’re being mean or somehow bad. You actually agree to such oversight in Google G Suite’s terms of service.
Those terms include include personal conduct stipulations and copyright protection, as well as adhering to “program policies.” Who knows what made the program that checks for abuse and other violations of the G Suite terms of service to go awry. But something did.
And it’s not just Google that has such terms. Chances are you or your employees have signed similar terms in the many agreements that people accept without reading.
The big concern from enterprises this week was not being locked out of Google Docs for a time but the fact that Google was scanning documents and other files. Even though this is spelled out in the terms of service, it’s uncomfortably Big Brother-ish, and raises anew questions about how confidential and secure corporate information really is in the cloud.
This is part of a workshop I have given several times: many companies do this happily. Oddly enough you won’t find their invasions in the privacy policy, but in their terms of service is where you find the interesting maneuvering. It’s actually worse than above: you generally give away copyright to all your documents as well 🙂

New law givers Dutch govt power to intercept Internet traffic
What’s got Mozilla engineers scared is the new “Wet op de inlichtingen- en veiligheidsdiensten (Wiv)” — translated to Information and Security Services Act — a new law voted this year that will come into effect at the start of 2018.
This new law gives Dutch authorities the powers to intercept and analyze Internet traffic. While other countries have similar laws, what makes this one special is that authorities will have authorization to carry out covert technical attacks to access encrypted traffic.
Such covert technical capabilities include the use of “false keys,” as mentioned in Article 45 1.b, a broad term that includes TLS certificates.
