HAR2009 - Your Mind: Legal Status, Rights and Securing YourselfJames Arlen
James Arlen and Tiffany Rad
As a participant in the information economy, you no longer exclusively own material originating from your organic brain; you leave a digital trail with your portable device’s transmitted communications and when your image is captured by surveillance cameras. Likewise, if you Tweet or blog, you have outsourced a large portion of your memory and some of your active cognition to inorganic systems. U.S. and International laws relating to protection of intellectual property and criminal search and seizure procedures puts into question protections of these ephemeral communications and memoranda stored on your personal computing devices, in cloud computing networks, on off-shore "subpoena proof" server/jurisdiction-hopping platforms, or on social networking sites. Although once considered to be futuristic technologies, as we move our ideas and memories onto external devices or are subjected to public surveillance with technology (Future Attribute Screening Technology) that assesses pre-crime thoughts by remotely measuring biometric data such as heart rate, body temperature, pheromone responses, and respiration, where do our personal privacy rights to our thoughts end and, instead, become public expressions with lesser legal protections? Similarly, at what state does data in-transit or stored in implantable medical devices continuously connected to the Internet become searchable? In a society in which there is little differentiation remaining between self/computer, thoughts/stored memoranda, and international boundaries, a technology lawyer/computer science professor and a security professional will recommend propositions to protect your data and yourself.

Data Property Rights (Rocky Mountain IP and Technology Institute 2013) (May 2...Jason Haislmaier
This document discusses data rights and protections in the United States. It notes that while data is increasingly valuable, there is no single comprehensive law protecting it. Instead, protection comes from various areas like copyright, trade secret, contract, and privacy/security laws. The document outlines the limited protections each area provides and how protections are inconsistent based on the type of data. It concludes that as data value increases, understanding these complex and varying protections will be important for transactions and litigation involving data.
This document summarizes an article that examines the validity of intellectual property (IP) carve-outs in arbitration clauses in light of recent legal developments. It discusses how IP carve-outs are commonly used to exclude IP issues from arbitration, but cites justifications for this are weakening. Recent court rulings have made interim injunctions in IP disputes more difficult to obtain, and separating IP issues from other contractual issues is challenging, leading to prolonged disputes. Additionally, arbitration institutions have strengthened rules for interim relief in IP matters. Therefore, the document concludes IP carve-outs may not provide intended benefits and add unnecessary costs and delays.

A general talk on privacy in early 2009, with quite a few slides summarizing the US National Research Council\'s report "Protecting Individual Privacy in the Struggle Against Terrorists: A Framework for Program Assessment" that was issued in late 2008
In the last several years, substantial data breaches or hacker attacks in the U.S. have shown no signs of abating. Neither have the class actions that typically follow in their wake. Bradley Arant discusses litigation trends in data breach class actions. The video will touch on evolving issues in these cases, including recent loosening of consumer standing requirements (in cases after the Supreme Court’s Clapper decision), class certification and other issues raised in the Target litigation. We will also provide an overview of recent settlements of data breach class actions and what they might mean for later cases. The webinar will address several issues pending before the Supreme Court this term that could have significant impact, including whether a statutory violation without other injury confers Article III standing, and the extent to which statistical evidence can be used to justify class certification.
Gurley Testimony on Lap Top Privacy and Information Seizures at the Border-Se...Susan Gurley
Susan Gurley of the Association of Corporate Travel Executives testified before the Senate Committee on the Judiciary about the Department of Homeland Security claiming authority to inspect and seize electronic devices like laptops at US borders without suspicion. She expressed concern that this allows the warrantless seizure of proprietary business information and personal data. ACTE represents major companies and billions in annual business travel spending. Gurley argued this issue impacts both individuals and the US economy, and urged Congress to clarify border search procedures to protect privacy and due process.
Bradley's panel reacts to and addresses a hypothetical cyber incident involving a widespread compromise of consumer healthcare and financial information. Amy Leopard (Healthcare), Mike Pennington (Litigation), John Goodman (Litigation), Elena Lovoy (Financial Services), and moderator Paige Boshell (Intellectual Property, Financial Services) will offer legal and practical strategies to proactively respond to and resolve a specified data breach. Highlights will include customer notice strategies, attorney-client privilege and litigation avoidance strategies, and coordination with third parties, including external PR and forensic investigators, vendors, regulators, and law enforcement.
This document discusses various topics relating to cyber law including personal jurisdiction, net neutrality, governance, legislation, and internet regulation. It explores challenges such as where jurisdiction lies for online actions, balancing free speech and censorship, and determining appropriate laws and regulations for a borderless internet. Governance is complex due to geographical independence and different approaches are seen internationally, for example the US emphasizing free speech while China tightly controls content.
This document provides a guide for foreign business people doing business in the USA. It covers exporting and selling to the USA, including ensuring products can be legally imported and sold and obtaining necessary licenses and permits. It discusses the importance of trademarks, copyrights, and other intellectual property protections. When engaging distributors, dealers, or sales agents, it advises checking references, deciding between exclusive or non-exclusive arrangements, and taking the initiative in drafting contracts. The guide is intended to provide an overview of key legal and business issues without extensive detail.
The document summarizes the key aspects of Massachusetts' privacy law for protecting personal information. It outlines the origins and scope of the law, what personal information it covers, entities to which it applies, and compliance deadlines. It then describes the steps organizations should take to achieve compliance, including assessing their environment and processes, creating a written security plan, encrypting data, assessing third party vendors, training employees, and monitoring compliance. Failure to comply could result in fines and civil penalties.

Ray dowd copyright, ethics & social media- what the connected lawyer needs t...Raymond Dowd
This document summarizes key ethical and legal issues attorneys need to consider regarding social media and copyright. It discusses how attorneys have become publishers through social media and need to understand rules of defamation, ethics, and copyright law. The document also analyzes several court cases where attorneys or clients have faced sanctions or lawsuits due to improper social media use, such as revealing privileged information or using copyrighted materials without permission.
Most businesses have valuable databases of information, such as client lists, customer lists, lists of prospects – as well as data about products, materials, financial, insurance and other information.
The introduction of GDPR has led more businesses to think about what rights they have in their data and in their databases. This area of law has changed significantly in recent years as a result of court decisions across Europe.
This short webinar provides you with the key information you need to identify, develop and protect these rights.
This presentation looks at issues surrounding the licensing of research data for reuse. It outlines the concepts behind data licensing, looks at data reuse licenses used by CESSDA data archives, considers the role of Creative Commons and Open Data Licenses in sharing social science research data, and highlights some of the problems, issues, and challenges facing archives and repositories.
The document discusses the differences between mediation confidentiality and privilege. While most states have strong mediation privilege laws, federal courts take differing approaches. Some federal district courts recognize a mediation privilege based on local rules, while circuit courts have declined to adopt a uniform federal privilege. This can lead to situations where materials protected by state privilege laws may be disclosed in federal court or vice versa. The lack of uniformity creates uncertainty around mediation confidentiality when cases involve both state and federal issues or proceedings.
Data mining involves extracting and analyzing large amounts of data to find patterns. While it provides benefits to companies, some view it as an invasion of privacy. There is little regulation in the US on data mining. The government has broad powers to collect data under laws like the Patriot Act. Data breaches have compromised over 800 million records, revealing sensitive personal information. Retailers use data mining to target customers, while gamers mine data to learn about new game content. More regulation may be needed to protect personal privacy as data mining becomes more widespread.
The document discusses how the USA PATRIOT Act and international laws affect law enforcement access to data stored in the United States. It notes that the PATRIOT Act amended existing laws to make law enforcement tasks easier and allow more readily accessible to communications data. However, it also aims to enhance public safety, and privacy protections still apply. Additionally, most developed countries have similar investigative powers that can access data within their borders, just as U.S. laws can access any data stored within the U.S., regardless of the data's origin.
Blackhat USA Mobile Security Panel 2011Tyler Shields
The document introduces several security researchers across different layers of mobile security including infrastructure, hardware/firmware, operating system, and applications. It provides brief biographies for each researcher highlighting their background, employers, notable presentations and research areas. The document concludes by announcing a debate between the researchers on the riskiest mobile security layer.
Detecting Web Browser Heap Corruption Attacks - Stephan Chenette, Moti Joseph...Stephan Chenette
This document summarizes a presentation on detecting web browser heap corruption attacks. The presentation focuses on research into detecting these attacks and an internal tool called "xmon" that is part of a larger system for detecting malicious web content. The document provides background on heap corruption vulnerabilities and exploits, and how techniques like heap spraying and heap feng shui have increased the reliability of such exploits. It then describes xmon's methods for generic detection of exploit techniques through actions like patching virtual function calls and hooking structured exception handlers.
Understanding and Competing against Blackhat Local SEO tacticsMike Ramsey
This document discusses various blackhat local SEO tactics such as submitting fake reviews, hijacking business listings, and manipulating citations and location data. It provides examples of how competitors have used negative tactics like posting only positive reviews for themselves while criticizing others, or changing details in listings to misrepresent businesses. The document advises tracking reviews online and responding carefully to negative reviews if notified. It also emphasizes regularly claiming and updating business listings to prevent others from altering the information.
This document summarizes a presentation on man-in-the-middle attacks given at the 2003 Blackhat Conference in the USA. It describes various techniques an attacker can use to intercept communications between a client and server, such as injecting packets to modify traffic, manipulating cryptographic keys to decrypt secure connections, and forcing protocols to downgrade to less secure versions. It includes demonstrations of attacks against protocols like SSH, IPsec, HTTPS, and PPTP. Countermeasures are also discussed, such as port security on switches, static ARP entries, and kernel patches to detect ARP spoofing.
This document summarizes talks from the Blackhat US 2014 and Defcon 22 security conferences. It discusses topics like password security, web and email filtering, cloud security best practices, cross-site scripting attacks, hacking automobiles, and the importance of secure development practices. The document advocates developing "rugged" code that can withstand attacks and stresses the responsibility of organizations to protect software security even when using third-party services.
The document summarizes the post-mortem analysis of a rootkit attack. It describes how the rootkit was discovered on a compromised system after strange behavior was observed. The rootkit hid running processes, files, and network connections. A full forensic analysis was then performed by imaging the hard drive and manually analyzing binaries and log files. This revealed trojanized system binaries, rootkit installation scripts, and tools used to launch denial of service attacks.

SearchCon 2016 | Black Hat Tools for White Hat SEO with Jim Kreinbrink, Cade ...SearchCon
This document discusses both black hat and white hat SEO tools and techniques. It begins by introducing common black hat practices like penalizing competitors and automation. It then discusses debates around using some black hat processes for white hat purposes, such as keyword research, spinning articles, and link verification. The document provides examples of both black hat and white hat keyword research, content creation, outreach, and link building processes. It also lists specific black hat tools like Scrapebox, SEO Presser, and link indexers/checkers that can be used for both black hat and white hat link building, metrics, and research.
The document summarizes security issues found in airport screening equipment from two vendors - Kronos and Itemiser. It describes hardcoded backdoor accounts and passwords in the equipment that could allow unauthorized access. It questions whether the TSA is aware of these issues and suggests an audit is needed to verify the engineering meets basic security standards, as the TSA is ultimately responsible for ensuring the equipment is secure.
Dan Catalin Vasile - Defcamp2013 - Does it pay to be a blackhat hackerDan Vasile
This document summarizes a presentation about different types of hackers - white hat, grey hat, and black hat. White hats follow ethical practices like responsible disclosure. Grey hats sometimes act illegally but with good intentions. Black hats hack for personal gain or maliciousness. The document describes a real PHP vulnerability in Apache that allows remote code execution. It then discusses the potential financial gains but legal risks of different approaches like responsible disclosure, selling the exploit, or creating a large botnet to exploit it at scale for ongoing profits from criminal activities.
Blackhat SEO involves unethical techniques to drive traffic to a website quickly and inexpensively, but it is only effective in the short term as search engines work to detect and prevent spammy tactics like link farms, social bookmarking abuse, and account buying. While blackhat SEO may be scalable and automated, it can damage a site's reputation, lead to penalties from search engines, and provide an annoying experience for users.
This document discusses blackhat analytics techniques such as dark tracking and intentionally distorting web analytics data. It begins with defining blackhat analytics and providing examples of early blackhat techniques from pre-2010. It then discusses classifications of good and bad analytics data and potential penalties for violations. It notes an increase in online competitiveness and revenue at stake could lead to more malicious analytics practices. The document warns of increased scrutiny from organizations like Google's planned privacy "Red Team" and potential class action lawsuits in response to privacy issues.
Blackhat Analytics - DarkScore test to printoutPhil Pearce
The document provides a scoring system to evaluate the privacy and data collection practices of websites. It assigns points for practices like having a privacy policy, cookie disclosures, and security settings. Specific practices are deducted points, like deploying third-party cookies or storing sensitive user data in analytics. A website is given an overall "Light Score" and "Dark Score". The scores are compared to characters from Star Wars to determine if a site's practices align more with the light or dark side. Websites that receive a dark score are encouraged to review ethics codes to improve their standards.

This document summarizes security issues with single sign-on systems like OpenID and provides recommendations. It describes 7 attacks that can occur: (1) observing username/password combinations, (2) choosing misleading URLs, (3) exploiting weaknesses in crypto protocols, (4) phishing through malicious sites, (5) privacy issues from sharing login data, (6) replay attacks despite nonces, and (7) cross-site request forgery. While having a single sign-on is useful, the document argues flexibility must be reduced and security strengthened to prevent these attacks, such as using client certificates. Overall, OpenID can work but needs more focus on privacy and security issues.

DEFCON17 - Your Mind: Legal Status, Rights and Securing YourselfJames Arlen
James Arlen and Tiffany Rad
As a participant in the information economy, you no longer exclusively own material originating from your organic brain; you leave a digital trail with your portable device's transmitted communications and when your image is captured by surveillance cameras. Likewise, if you Tweet or blog, you have outsourced a large portion of your memory and some of your active cognition to inorganic systems. U.S. and International laws relating to protection of intellectual property and criminal search and seizure procedures puts into question protections of these ephemeral communications and memoranda stored on your personal computing devices, in cloud computing networks, on off-shore "subpoena proof" server platforms, or on social networking sites.
Although once considered to be futuristic technologies, as we move our ideas and memories onto external devices or are subjected to public surveillance with technology (Future Attribute Screening Technology) that assesses pre-crime thoughts by remotely measuring biometric data such as heart rate, body temperature, pheromone responses, and respiration, where do our personal privacy rights to our thoughts end and, instead, become public expressions with lesser legal protections? Similarly, at what state does data in-transit or stored in implantable medical devices continuously connected to the Internet become searchable? In a society in which there is little differentiation remaining between self/computer, thoughts/stored memoranda, and international boundaries, a technology lawyer/computer science professor and a security professional will recommend propositions to protect your data and yourself.
This document discusses various legal and ethical issues related to using social media as a lawyer. It addresses topics such as attorney-client relationships, client confidentiality, trial publicity, fee splitting, cloud storage of client files, ex parte communications, and relationships with judges and jurors on social media. The document also covers privacy laws, liability for user-generated content, cybersecurity, laws regarding minors and social media, and ethical guidelines for attorneys' use of social media.
This document discusses privacy issues related to personal information collected by companies. It notes that while no comprehensive privacy law exists, some sectors have legislation governing privacy and data protection. The document also summarizes some recent legal cases involving privacy violations, such as companies failing to protect customer data or illegally collecting children's information. It concludes by advising both businesses and consumers to be careful about data collection and use common sense to protect personal privacy.
This document discusses several issues surrounding cyber law and policy. It outlines various forms of cybercrime like attacks on systems, cyberbullying, and online scams. It then examines current issues in cyber law like challenges around the 4th Amendment's search and seizure provisions, debates around data mining and privacy, and the roles of organizations like FISA courts. The document also analyzes how laws like the Patriot Act and statutes like CALEA have expanded the jurisdiction of law enforcement but have also led to conflicts with companies like Apple around data access and privacy.
Consumers care deeply about privacy but take few steps to protect themselves. Most Americans want control over their personal data and what is collected about them, yet few change their online behaviors to avoid tracking. Stolen identities and data records are frequently bought and sold on the dark web, with social security numbers sold for just $1. The average cost of a data breach for large companies is $6.5 million. As more devices and records are connected, privacy risks grow substantially without comprehensive privacy laws or protections.

Privacy and anonymity have been reduced to the point of nonMateus BahiaRicardo
The document discusses how privacy and anonymity have been greatly reduced in recent years through mass surveillance by governments and corporations. It aims to provide guidance on how to protect privacy and anonymity online through techniques like obfuscating network attributes, limiting programs and services that can leak information, protecting web browsing activity, dealing with intrusive surveillance, anonymous communications, and physical interaction without surveillance. The document is organized into chapters addressing different ways personal information can be leaked and how to prevent it.
The document discusses drone surveillance at Kansas State University football games. It notes that over 50,000 fans attend games, making it difficult for law enforcement to monitor everything. Drones could help by providing aerial surveillance to spot issues like medical emergencies or criminal activity. However, drone surveillance also raises privacy concerns due to their ability to record details and identify individuals. The document examines both the potential benefits of drone surveillance for public safety as well as the privacy issues it presents.
Although cloud computing presents a compelling business case for companies looking to reduce spending, streamline processes, and increase accessibility, the very idea of trans-border data flows raises the hackles of privacy advocates all over the globe. In Canada, government and members of the public have expressed serious concern over the potential misuse of personal information gone offshore. Join Else for an overview of those concerns and what they might mean for your organization.

Topic: Privacy: Billion-Dollar Companies Built on YOU
Speaker: Chris Clausen
This discussion will cover data privacy, how we should define it, and topics such as anonymity, corporate accountability, and more.
-----------------
Privacy – a loaded term open to varying scope and definition, yet evoking a very specific emotional response in most of us when we think about our own privacy, the associated rights we expect, and the risks we worry about.
Be it wanting ‘connectedness’ via social media, the growing ubiquity of voice assistant apps (they’re always on and monitoring our utterances) and IoT devices, or algorithms that assimilate our every click and swipe to deliver optimized media and shopping recommendations, consumers are trading privacy for convenience.
In the established ‘give-to-get’ model between billion-dollar companies and consumers, the typical consumer does not have true transparency/understanding of how their personal data is being used and exchanged, let alone know their rights and options regarding their personal data. Further, is this data truly being anonymized (cannot be traced back to real-world individuals) and protected from meddling nation-states and bad actors?
As technology leaders, what is our fiduciary responsibility? What could our role be in both giving consumers more control, while driving the industry to better protect their information?
The document discusses various topics relating to privacy and computer technology, including key aspects of privacy such as freedom from intrusion and control over personal information. It covers new risks to privacy from government and private databases, as well as data mining and other tools used for surveillance. Finally, it discusses principles for data collection and use, as well as diverse privacy topics such as marketing, location tracking, and protecting privacy through technology and laws.
1. The document introduces privacy requirements for the Victorian Law Courts, including collecting, using, disclosing, managing, and allowing access to personal information in accordance with privacy principles.
2. It discusses the concept of "open justice" and exceptions where privacy is needed to protect vulnerable groups or hinders justice.
3. Key points about privacy include collecting only necessary information, sharing information only with proper authority, securely storing information, and properly disposing of unneeded records.
Cybersecurity Legal and Compliance Issues Business & IT Leaders Must Know -- ...Shawn Tuma
This presentation was delivered by Shawn E. Tuma, Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Attorney, at the January 27, 2017 meeting of (ISC)² Dallas Fort Worth Chapter.
This presentation was significantly updated from past presentations and included a discussion of the groundbreaking New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) Cybersecurity Requirements for Financial Services Companies.
The main points of this presentation are:
(1) Cybersecurity events create a crisis situation and should be treated as such;
(2) Cybersecurity incidents are as much legal events as they are IT or Business / Public Relations events;
(3) Companies must have a cybersecurity breach response plan in place and tested, in advance;
(4) While consumer class action data breach litigation is a significant threat to companies and their leadership, it is not as great of a threat as regulatory enforcement by agencies such as the FTC and SEC, or the shareholder derivative claims for officer and director liability; and
(5) The odds are that all company will be breached, but preparation and diligence can help minimize the likelihood that such a breach from being a catastrophic event.
This presentation addresses the role of attorneys as the first responders in leading their clients through cybersecurity and data loss crisis events. The discussion begins by looking at the risk business have of being the victim of a cybersecurity or data loss incident and examining the nature of such incidents and the crisis environment they create. Then, because of this crisis environment, the need for leadership in helping keep the parties calm, rational, and making deliberate, calculated decisions.
The discussion then explains why cybersecurity events are legal events and legal counsel is the natural leader that should fulfill this role and how they can do so. It will then discuss the process legal counsel will take, including assembling the key players in such an event, both internally and externally. It discusses the obligations for responding to such an event, the steps that must be taken, those that must be considered, and certain factors that go into the decision-making process. It briefly addresses the costs of such an incident and the liability issues that can arise from such an incident and failing to properly respond to the incident. This section includes a discussion of the cybersecurity lawsuit landscape, cybersecurity regulatory landscape, and the issue of cybersecurity-related officer and director liability stemming from shareholder derivative lawsuits based on cybersecurity incidents.
It concludes with a discussion of the steps that companies can take to prepare for and be in a better position to respond to and mitigate the negative repercussions of such an incident.
