Security Articles
Here are some interesting security related articles that I’ve come across this week. The first one is an update on an article I wrote in January regarding disclosure of security breaches by Canadian companies. This comes in the wake of a CIBC subsidiary’s security breach that resulted in thousands of identities being at-risk. Canada’s privacy laws relating to these incidents are under review. The second is an article regarding cross-border privacy laws, and a recent ruling that makes American companies liable for infractions against Canadians’ privacy. The third is an article about the release of StatsCan’s first profile on cybercrime in Canada. The last two are more geared towards America and their attempts to thwart cybercrime, with Bush’s IT budget and a cybercrime calculator that points a finger at Russia and China.
