"Mensen moeten zich veel meer in privacy verdiepen"
Mensen moeten zich veel meer in privacy verdiepen en leren hoe de privacyinstellingen van hun telefoon, besturingssysteem of apps werken. Dat zegt Paul Ducklin, beveiligingsexpert bij het Britse anti-virusbedrijf Sophos, ter gelegenheid van Data Privacy Day in een interview met Security.NL.
"Als het om privacy gaat komt het vooral neer op de houding en digitale levensstijl van mensen, meer dan alleen technologie." Als voorbeeld wijst Ducklin naar smartphones die automatisch data versleutelen. "Veel mensen denken dat ze dan klaar zijn en denken niet meer na over hun online gedrag." Mensen kiezen daardoor eerder voor gemak dan instellingen of gedrag te veranderen die juist de privacy ten goede komen. Het gaat volgens de beveiligingsexpert ook om de diensten die we besluiten te vertrouwen, de opties die ze aanbieden en of we bereid zijn om nee te zeggen.
Ducklin vindt dat internetgebruikers veel meer 'met hun portemonnee' zouden moeten stemmen, door diensten die bijvoorbeeld geen goede privacyinstellingen of beleid aanbieden links te laten liggen. "Voor veel mensen zijn dit bijzonder lastige beslissingen om te maken", merkt de expert op. Locatiegegevens zijn hiervan een goed voorbeeld zegt Ducklin. Mensen vinden dit handig, zonder erbij stil te staan dat een onbekend aantal mensen en partijen weten waar ze zich precies bevinden en deze gegevens voor altijd bewaard blijven. "Het is lastig om mensen zover te krijgen dat ze accepteren dat het prima is om anders te zijn en niet hetzelfde als de rest te doen."
Verdiepen
Concreet adviseert Ducklin dat mensen de tijd moeten nemen om de privacyinstellingen van hun apparaten en apps te leren. "Zodat je weet hoe het werkt en waar je de instellingen aan jouw voorkeur kan aanpassen." In het geval van Windows 10 zouden mensen bij de installatie niet de "Express" optie moeten kiezen, maar de aangepaste installatie, stelt de expert. Op deze manier zien gebruikers wat het besturingssysteem allemaal vraagt en kunnen ze zien wat de termen allemaal betekenen. "Mensen moeten meer met dit soort zaken oefenen", gaat Ducklin verder. Hij vergelijkt het met het plakken van een fietsband. "Als je een lekke band krijgt is het fijn als je een keer thuis hebt kunnen oefenen met plakken dan dat je dit voor de eerste keer in de regen moet doen."
Door zich meer in de materie te verdiepen krijgen mensen ook meer controle over hun online leven. Bewustzijn alleen is echter niet voldoende. "Je moet echt oefenen. Ga zelf op onderzoek uit. Kijk naar de termen en instellingen. En staan ze je niet aan, neem dan de moeilijke beslissing en stem met je portemonnee. Zelfs als al je vrienden van een bepaald social netwerk gebruik maken, hou dan voet bij stuk en leg ze uit waarom. Laat je niet door groepsdruk beïnvloeden." Ducklin erkent dat dit eenvoudiger gezegd is dan gedaan. "Na Snowden was er meer interesse van het publiek voor beveiligde chat-apps. Mensen maken zich meer zorgen over hun privacy, maar het is net als met encryptie. Het is cool om er over te praten, maar je moet het ook echt doen en dat is een stap die veel mensen nog niet hebben genomen."

Dat moet ik nog zien gebeuren. Sinds de elektronische post populair werd, zo rond 1992, wordt er al gesproken over de noodzaak om zoiets als een gesloten envelop te gebruiken om het bericht aan de geadresseerde te versturen.
Heel wenselijk, het gebruik van een digitale envelop. Echter, vrijwel niemand doet het. Email is dus in wezen de opvolger van wat vroeger de briefkaart heette. Vrijwel de hele overheid en het hele bedrijfsleven gebruikt dat soort briefkaarten.
De briefkaart was een kaart, zonder een envelop, met een daarop voorgedrukte postzegel. Als je daarop een mededeling schreef, dan kon niet alleen de postbode maar ook ieder ander lezen wat je daarop schreef. En zo werkt dus ook email.
Doet men het wel, een gesloten envelop gebruiken, dan loopt men als gewone burger het risico om als een 'interessant persoon' te worden aangemerkt. Het komt er in wezen op neer dat het briefgeheim stukje bij beetje is gecriminaliseerd.
Hoe groot moet de consternatie bij het Openbaar Ministerie dan ook zijn geworden, nu de mobiele jeugd van tegenwoordig al WhatsApp-ende massaal <i>heavy duty</i> end-to-end encryptie is gaan gebruiken...

Daarom is het zo leuk, om een (desnoods onzichtbare) handtekening onder je e-mails te hebben met een aantal leuke trefwoorden als: aanslag, bom, explosieven, ontvoering, moord, profeet, in naam van, kogel, granaat, revolutie, enz.Dan weet je zeker, dat er een aantal ambtenaren je mail lezen :-)
Bottomline waarom het niet gebeurd is omdat het gros het geen ene reet interesseert of hun privacy geschonden wordt. De meesten weten niet eens wat privacy is laat staan wat het betekend als ze dat kwijt zijn. Pas als ze slachtoffer worden van identiteitsdiefstal of dat hun privacy zodanig is misbruikt, dat ze negatief in het nieuws komen, gaan ze zich pas zorgen maken. Maar dan is het kwaad reeds geschied en zijn zaken niet meer terug te draaien. Als het eenmaal op het internet staat dan verdwijnt het ook nooit meer. Dus wie niet horen wil moet maar voelen. Heb je niets te verbergen dan kom je er vanzelf wel achter dat je daar wellicht niet zo gemakkelijk over had moeten denken. Dat is dan te laat maar dan had je maar moeten luisteren. Ik ga geen energie meer steken om het domme volk tegen hun eigen domme keuzen te beschermen. Ze gaan daar vanzelf wel achter komen.

Je kunt er wel alleen maar negatief over denken, maar je vergeet dat als privacy iets is wat niemand meer heeft, hetook niet meer nodig en nuttig is om een identiteit te stelen of om specifieke personen aan te vallen met zaken die over
iedereen al bekend zijn. Het beschermen van privacy houdt dus eigenlijk de waarde ervan in stand en daarmee de
gevolgen van problemen met lekken.

Klinkt goed maar als je publiek geen interesse heeft ben je een roepende in de woestijn en heb je dan je doel bereikt? Nee dus. Ik heb inmiddels geleerd om me alleen nog maar druk te maken over zaken (mensen) waar ik wel invloed op kan hebben en me niet meer druk te maken over zaken (mensen) waar ik geen invloed op heb. Dan wordt het allemaal een stuk overzichtelijker en rustiger in het hoofd. Mensen die het allemaal niets interesseert, of bedrijven en organisaties op de blauwe ogen geloven, prima lekker zelf uitzoeken dan als zaken fout gaan. Mensen die wel interesse hebben, zich zorgen maken en daarmee geholpen willen worden zijn van harte welkom.Door Anoniem: Bottomline waarom het niet gebeurd is omdat het gros het geen ene reet interesseert of hun privacy geschonden wordt.

Even voor de chaudfeur: "ze zeggen", zei ik. En dat is echt waar en geen grap.Ze zien geen gevaar. Ze voelen het niet, en dus is het er niet. Wat ik ook zeg, ze trekken zich er weinig van aan.
Wetgevening en handhaving zou privacy van mensen beter moeten beschermen tegen de amorele en mafiose praktijken van bedrijven

Identiteitsdiefstal is wat anders dan privacy. Het is een gebrek aan besef van: Identificatie Authenticatie Autorisatie.Pas als ze slachtoffer worden van identiteitsdiefstal of dat hun privacy zodanig is misbruikt, dat ze negatief in het nieuws komen, gaan ze zich pas zorgen maken. ..knip..
Met alle privacy wetgeving is over identiteitsdiefstal nog geen eens consensus wat het is en wat de schade is.
Een goede Authenticatie is heel ver doorgedreven een inbreuk op de privacy want je moet echt bewijzen dat je het bent. Juist criminelen zijn dol op een slechte bewijsvoering want dan is het makkelijk je als een ander voor te doen. Zie je de tegenspraak dat de schending van privacy met echte schade veroorzaakt wordt door de te strikte bescherming van privacy bij de authenticatie?

Je onderschat het vermogen van mensen om zich anders te gedragen dan wat simpele logica suggereert. We zien nu al bij een aantal lichtingen jongeren dat ze last krijgen van de gevolgen van erotische plaatjes die ze van zichzelf verspreid hebben, bijvoorbeeld. Ik zie daar geen gewenning optreden, ondanks het gemak waarmee je eindeloze hoeveelheden pornografisch materiaal op het internet kan vinden reageren mensen die met die beschikbaarheid zijn opgegroeid en niet meer zouden moeten opkijken van een geslachtsdeel vaak nog steeds zo vervelend op zo'n plaatje van een bekende dat het tot serieuze problemen leidt. De gevoeligheid van het slachtoffer daarvoor maakt natuurlijk deel uit van de dynamiek, maar die gevoeligheid bestaat, die kan je niet zomaar even wegredeneren. Die gevoeligheid bestaat omdat we sociale wezentjes zijn, groepen functioneren omdat mensen zich door de groep laten corrigeren in hun gedrag, en dat lukt niet als niemand gevoelig is voor kritiek.Je kunt er wel alleen maar negatief over denken, maar je vergeet dat als privacy iets is wat niemand meer heeft, het

Het is zeker niet het hele verhaal, maar een deel van het probleem is dat sommige mensen nou eenmaal pestkoppen zijn die graag hun persoonlijke macht in een groep vergroten door anderen af te kraken. Die raken vaak heel bedreven in het zo reageren op totaal onschuldige zaken dat iemand er totaal belachelijk mee wordt gemaakt. Dat maakt het nodig om die totaal onschuldige zaken voldoende privé te houden om dat soort etters geen munitie te geven. De behoefte aan privacy is een reactie op mensen die kennis misbruiken. Dat kan op het schoolplein optreden maar net zo goed op het niveau van een land, als dat ernstige vormen aanneemt heb je een dictatuur.
Kennis (over anderen) is macht, en privacy beperkt die macht. Als alle gegevens van iedereen op straat liggen trekt dat niet de angel eruit, dat maakt de mogelijkheden er misbruik van te maken juist enorm.

Pas de laatste paar jaar hebben grote grote internetbedrijven de waarde van "big-data" ingezien en de opslag ervan weer in hun eigen servers gedaan. Door de veel snellere computers wordt het steeds gemakkelijker om deze data ook te bewerken. Dan kunnen bijvoorbeeld verzekeringsmaatschappijen (in de gezondheid) of de overheid alleen op basis van de data beslissen welk risico je voor hen bent, en daar bijvoorbeeld de premie en/of belasting op afstemmen. Voor de commercie weten zij wat je belangstellingen zijn en hoe je op gerichte aanbiedingen reageert. Zo ontstaat de ideale klant. Een slaaf (het product) van de "big brother" maatschappij.wij doen dit al 10 jaar, en dat privacyverlies, als het er al is, heeft me na al die jaren niet geraakt.

Dat ze maar eens een Privacy wet gaan uitbrengen
die ook de Apps privacy vriendelijk houden
als je het het hebt over de gratis app die niks kosten
ik denk dat veel niet er bij stil staan dat ze ook geld verdienen met gratis apps
en met je gevens er van door gaan -of die verkopen aan grote bedrijven
voor de trend of iets, weet zelf niet eens wat ze nu precies weten van je
maar iederegeval meer dan je weet of zou zeggen zoals je locatie als eerste
en dan heb je nog zo verschillende apps
dus die fitnes apps zullen wel helemaal erg zijn
maar denk ook wel deels anoniem verkocht wordt bedoel anoniem van de mensen die de app gebruiken
hoe dan ook lijkt mij dit ook een flinke privacy lek die zeker nog niet waterdicht is
ik kan het fout hebben maar hier hoor ik niet veel over, dat ze hier iets aan gaan doen
ze komen nu al in het nieuws met privacy van alles en nog wat
toch klink dit ook wel beetje laat maar nooit te laat ?
nu ze op eens toch aanraden whats app te gebruiken of signaal
hoe zit het dan met internet via zoekmachines en man in the middle
is toch ook zelfde dan , bedoel er dan mee dan zou iedereen ook moeten overstappen naar een soort van tor of vpn

Safe Harbor Notice:
For our Sophos Cloud product, all companies can choose where their data is stored (likely Dublin or Frankfurt for an EU company) and it will never “fail over” to the US. With regard to other data held, following the decision in October 2015 by the European Court of Justice to invalidate the US/EU Safe Harbor framework, Sophos is ensuring that all our intra-group data transfers to the US are based upon the EU model clauses and/or consent. These are template agreements drafted by the EU commission and are a commonly used and accepted way of transferring data outside of the EU. The EU model clauses and/or consent have also been our preferred approach for transfers to third parties, where this is applicable. Like many companies, we are assessing our relationships with third parties so that future transfers will continue to be in accordance with applicable legislation and provide protection for the personal data of our employees, customers and partners.

Privacy policy = NIET-privacy policy
In een privacy policy wordt vooral zo verhullend of ingewikkeld als mogelijk beschreven welke privacy je dus NIET hebt.
Daarna mag de consument gaan bedenken wat er dan nog aan privacy overblijft.
Weet jij het antwoord al, dus welke privacy je nog wel hebt op basis van deze lappen aan informatie?
Nee, he.
En dat was vast exact de bedoeling.
Sophos heeft bergen boter op zijn hoofd door actie te verwachten van de consument terwijl menig privacy policy bewust lang en niet leesbaar / uitnodigend wordt gepresenteerd omdat het juist totaal niet de bedoeling is dat de consument er kennis van neemt.
* Wie de schoen past trekke hem aan is de spreekwoordelijke wijsheid.
Dat is wat anders dan een corporate laars over de smoel van de consument te schuiven.
Privacy leeft niet en dat hebben deze bedrijven aan zichzelf te danken, met name nog wel de AV industrie, waarbij de een het nog bonter maakt dan de ander.
Hypocriet dus om op een privacy onderwerp je in de media middels een 'interview' te willen profileren.
Aandachttrekkerij om in de media te komen.
Wie heeft het privacy policy van sophos doorgeworsteld?
Niet nog?
Tweede kans
Sophos Group Privacy Policy
This document was last updated on 25 April 2016.
General
This is the privacy policy of Sophos Limited and its subsidiaries.
We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of your personal data. Please read the following privacy policy to understand how we collect and use your personal data, for example when you contact us, visit one of our websites (each a “Site”), apply for a job, or use our products and services.
Whenever you give us personal data, you are consenting to its collection and use in accordance with this privacy policy.
What personal data do we collect?
We may collect personal data such as your name, company position, address, telephone number, mobile number, fax number, email address, credit card details, age, IP address, and account usernames.
How do you use my personal data?
If you provide personal data to us, we will collect that information and use it for the purposes for which you have provided it and in accordance with this privacy policy.
Browsing our Site
Every time you connect to the Site, we store a log of your visit that shows the unique number your machine uses when it is connected to the Internet - its IP address. This tells us what your machine has looked at, whether the page request was successful or not and which browser your machine used to view the pages. This data is used for statistical purposes as well as to help customize the user experience as you browse the Site and subsequently interact with Sophos and our partners. This helps us to understand which areas of the Site are of particular interest, which pages are not being requested, and how many people are visiting the Site in total. It also helps us and our partners to determine which products and services may be of specific interest to you. We may attempt to contact you through these details if necessary, including, without limitation, when you are using the wrong paths to access the Site or are breaching restrictions on the use of the Site. We may also use this information to block IP addresses where there is a breach of the Terms and Conditions for use of the Site.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of text that gets entered into the memory of your browser by a website, allowing the website to store information on your machine and later retrieve it. Some of our pages use cookies so that we can distinguish you from other users and better serve you when you return to the Site. Cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the onsite experience. For information about the cookies that we use, please refer to the Cookie Information page on the relevant Site.

Privacy policy = NIET-privacy policy
In een privacy policy wordt vooral zo verhullend of ingewikkeld als mogelijk beschreven welke privacy je dus NIET hebt.
Daarna mag de consument gaan bedenken wat er dan nog aan privacy overblijft.
Weet jij het antwoord al, dus welke privacy je nog wel hebt op basis van deze lappen aan informatie?
Nee, he.
En dat was vast exact de bedoeling.
Sophos heeft bergen boter op zijn hoofd door actie te verwachten van de consument terwijl menig privacy policy bewust lang en niet leesbaar / uitnodigend wordt gepresenteerd omdat het juist totaal niet de bedoeling is dat de consument er kennis van neemt.
* Wie de schoen past trekke hem aan is de spreekwoordelijke wijsheid.
Dat is wat anders dan een corporate laars over de smoel van de consument te schuiven.
Privacy leeft niet en dat hebben deze bedrijven aan zichzelf te danken, met name nog wel de AV industrie, waarbij de een het nog bonter maakt dan de ander.
Hypocriet dus om op een privacy onderwerp je in de media middels een 'interview' te willen profileren.
