Evan Schuman: Mobile IT Roach Motel: Data checks in, but it won't check out

Even if a company were willing to expunge personal data that it had been
authorized to collect, the realities of IT systems mean it probably could never
completely do that.

Richi Jennings: NSA did it again? This time GnuTLS fails to check malicious certificates


CVE-2014-0092: "Sky falling. Film at 11."

GnuTLS, the widely-used open-source encryption library, has a simply horrible
bug. And it's had that bug since 2003. It has a similar effect to the
recently-discovered one in Apple OS code: It fails to correctly validate
certificates.

The conspiracy theorists are beginning to have a field day, with fingers
pointing in NSA's direction.

In IT Blogwatch, bloggers don their tinfoil hats.
