It’s inspiring — in a crazy sort of way — to consider how efficient Google can be in keeping track of information about you. Today, Google announced the launch of “Your Timeline,” a tool in Google Maps that shares with you all the places you have been. It works if you chose to store your Location History with Google.

Product manager Gerard Sanz detailed the feature in blog post, as the company gradually rolls out the timeline for Maps users.

It could definitely serve as a convenience. What with our busy lives, sometimes it’s hard to remember all the stops along the way. Google sees Your Timeline as a way to quickly recall, and even view your past whereabouts.

Digital rights organization the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has published its fifth annual Who has your back? report into online service providers’ transparency and privacy practices when it comes to government requests for accessing user data.

The organization notes a general transformation among major Internet players to be more transparent with users about data requests over the past four years. But for its latest report it’s tightened evaluation criteria, arguing that “it’s time to expect more from Silicon Valley”.

The report awards companies up to a maximum of five stars for performance in various areas, such as following what the EFF judges as “industry-accepted best practices”; telling users about government data demands; disclosing policies on data retention disclosing government content removal requests; and taking what it dubs a “pro-user” public policy position and specifically opposing government mandated backdoors in digital services.

When Google's not tracking what sites users visit online so it can target-marketthem, its snoopy Street View cars are driving around and sniffing unsecured wireless networks and their passwords, usernames, and private email.

But here's something else Google knows about us: even though 93% of us think it's important to control access to our personal information, and in spite of the fact that 90% of us care about the type of information that's collected about us, a measly 9% of us feel we have "a lot" of control over our data, according to a recent Pew study.

Well, Google wants to change that feeling of helplessness, it says.

That's why the company announced on Monday that it had launched My Account, a new dashboard designed to make it easier for users to control the settings related to their privacy and data.

As well, Google launched a new site that answers questions about privacy and security.

After testing the security of six Internet of Things (IoT) devices commonly used in homes, Veracode security researchers found that product manufacturers don't put enough focus on security and privacy as a design priority; this puts users "at risk for an attack or physical intrusion." They found vulnerabilities in the devices that could potentially act as a "pathway for robbery, theft of sensitive data or even stalking."

There are only four people/organizations in the world who know my location at all times: my wife (because I tell her), Apple (because Siri), the NSA (because NSA), and now Uber.

Since the service Uber has built is so convenient, and increasingly essential to my life, Uber knows where I live, where I work, where I eat, where I travel, where I stay/visit and when I do all these things.

Being online means accepting risk
Attacks and data theft are all over the news (think: Sony Pictures). Both high and low profile targets are breached every day it seems, and the trend doesn’t appear to be letting up. As a teacher or administrator using various web-based tools, the question will probably come up, “How secure is my and my students’ data?” It’s an important one, and the only antidote to paranoia is knowledge.

The risks are manageable
The relative difficulty of discovering new zero-day attacks means that these methods fetch a hefty sum in underground trading due to their rarity. Typically those who are purchasing the heretofore unknown exploits are looking to make a return on their investment.

Gust MEES's insight:

Public Wi-Fi is becoming more and more popular. It’s becoming prominent absolutely everywhere, and almost everyone uses it when given the opportunity. But many people still seem to feel that public Wi-Fi networks are built to give the public free Wi-Fi access without having to make concession with their privacy, and this is in spite of growingevidence to the contrary. And based on the show of political support for Wi-Fi, one can extend this to include the perception of lawmakers.

So we here at F-Secure teamed up with ethical hacking firm Mandalorian and investigative journalist Peter Warren to conduct a little experiment that could highlight the risks that people (including politicians) take when they use public Wi-Fi.

Case in point: My group has just released a new preprint (get it here) that shows how the WiFi information routinely collected by your smartphone can easily be converted to precise information about your location. WiFi routers reveal where you live, work, and spend your leisure time.

While your phone may have told you that WiFi helps “improve location accuracy”, it may come as a surprise that:

A majority of apps in the store have access to the list of routers around you (scanned every 20 seconds).
Your Android smartphone by default scans for WiFi routers even if you disable WiFi.

THE AVERAGE AUTOMOBILE today isn’t necessarily secured against hackers, so much as obscured from them: Digitally controlling a car’s electronics remains an arcane, specialized skill among security researchers. But that’s changing fast. And soon, it could take as little as $60 and a laptop to begin messing around with a car’s digital innards.

Tomorrow at the Black Hat Asia security conference in Singapore, 24-year-old Eric Evenchick plans to present a new device he calls the CANtact. The open source board, which he hopes to sell for between $60 and $100, connects on one end to a computer’s USB port, and on the other to a car or truck’s OBD2 port, a network port under its dashboard. That makes the CANtact a cheap interface between any PC and a vehicle’s controller area network or CAN bus, the collection of connected computers inside of every modern automobile that control everything from its windows to its brakes.
