States aren't limiting themselves to general privacy laws; some states are tightening privacy regarding specific collection efforts (Illinois and BIPA), and Washington State, which just adopted a new law protecting health information, which goes beyond fe…lnkd.in/gYRwMRq8

Just a friendly public service annoucement - Macs are not immune from various types of malware. And like malware that attacks other operating systems, the first line of defense is the user - as we like to say, don't touch a hot st…lnkd.in/gVFjDvRJ lnkd.in/gyABNaPT

As a lawyer, and as a member of the ABA, I'm not happy. #dataprivacy #datasecurity #malware #databreach lnkd.in/gNVZ4rC6

Lots of talk, not much action. Talking about a federal, comprehensive privacy law won't get it done, and in the interim, we're looking at 9 state privacy laws (and counting). (audible sigh). #federalprivacylaw #comprehensivepriv…lnkd.in/gwR_iJV4 lnkd.in/gPPTMJ5S

Three great data points - The US is number one when it comes to paying ransomware -  $9.44 million per incident, more than $5 million more than the average. Go USA! The second point - bad actors go after smaller companies because…lnkd.in/gg7Ftwuy bit.ly/3LVKt1k

We worry about government surveillance - but there might not be any cloak and daggers, just an open checkbook. #surveillance #dataprivacy #dataprotection #data #personalinformation lnkd.in/gavQpBhN

Take a look at my most recent post on analytics at lnkd.in/gnVjJz5z

We're already hearing war stories about privacy and other concerns with generative AI - as well as some pretty amusing anecdotes about my fellow lawyers using it to submit briefs without checking whether the cases they cite actuall…lnkd.in/g43zy3FD lnkd.in/gbQf87vY

2023 has been a big year for state privacy laws - 4 in May alone. This quote from the cited article says it all: "Despite certain key similarities, these laws are not cookie cutter and each brings its own twist to the already com…lnkd.in/gi9H-qu2 lnkd.in/g58QCREZ

According to a recent Verizon study, public sector data breaches are "caused caused by actors from the organization 85 percent of the time," which is in line with other industries. Those pesky humans! We need better training, sy…lnkd.in/gq6N8Ac7 lnkd.in/gkdMrvTC

Take a look at my most recent post on the ten (that's 10, count 'em!) state privacy laws, only looking at comprehensive privacy laws. #dataprivacy #ccpa #stateprivacylaws #infosec lnkd.in/gG_PAwqz

Well, this is convenient. Our spy agencies don't actually have to spy; they just let commercial ventures do it for them. #infosec #privacy #personalinformation #surveillance #databrokers lnkd.in/gWyMBvTE

I'd say supply chain attacks are back, but in truth, they never left. Time to check your software stack! #supplychain #datasecurity #infosecurity #malware #hacking lnkd.in/gbw8-PqB

What do the following law firms have in common: McCarter & English, Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, Proskauer Rose, Orrick, Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, Leb & Loeb, and Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner? All have reported dta breaches in the past year. Every law f…lnkd.in/gEaFV_Sm

Yet another privacy law to review - Oregon gets into the act, and adds just a little bit more confusion to a messy situation. #dataprivacylaw #personaldata #dataprotection #biometrics lnkd.in/giN6qAfZ

It's good to have a data breach summary from time to time ##infosec #databreach #ransomware #dataprotection lnkd.in/gkA_f3hG

Delaware joins the crowd with a data privacy law - does that make 12 or 13? Or maybe more? #ccpa #dataprivacy #consumerprotection #consumerprivacy #infosecurity lnkd.in/g4JPmfHP

It sounded good at first - delaying CCPA enforcment until March. But read beyond the headlines - that only applies to the new regulations. Enforcement of the CCPA statutory provisions is alive and well! #CCPA #privacy #dataprote…lnkd.in/gEEt2Z3j lnkd.in/gBNQA37U

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are usually seen as a nuisance - they might take down a site for a while, but the victim can usually recover quickly. That's changed, as the number of attacks has risen (a 47% increase…lnkd.in/gkUwKGAH lnkd.in/gncsKRRK
