Facebook stirs privacy ire with facial recognition

Facebook's move to enable facial recognition across its entire social networking
site is raising some eyebrows - and possibly some legal woes -- over its privacy
implications.

Darlene Storm: Facial recognition and foreclosure via Facebook?

If Facebook doesn't creep you out yet, after launching facial recognition and
pushing friends to tag you, how about if you "friended" the wrong person and
were then served legal paperwork via Facebook? Foreclosure by Facebook may be
coming to the U.S.

Web Security 2.0 Initiative at Health First

Protecting sensitive patient data and the integrity of the organization,
however, was a paramount consideration and staff worried that opening access
without the right security, policies and planning could be disastrous, because
Web 2.0 sites are a top target of cybercriminals and a major source of data loss
if not managed properly.

Experts: Few cyberattacks are cause for major retaliation

Cyberattacks on U.S. networks by other nations may not always demand the same
level of retaliation, and only attacks that cause major damage or loss of life
should prompt similar responses, a group of national security experts said
Wednesday.
