Assessing the human rights implications of data localization
Protecting Patient Health Information in the HITECH Era
The document discusses how the HITECH Act strengthened enforcement of HIPAA regulations regarding the privacy and security of patient health information. It established much higher penalties for non-compliance in an effort to incentivize healthcare providers to improve practices for protecting electronic personal health records. The HITECH Act also expanded the scope of HIPAA to cover business associates of healthcare organizations and allow state attorneys general to pursue legal action on behalf of individuals affected by privacy or security violations. Overall, the legislation aims to increase adoption of health information technology while maintaining patient trust through more rigorous auditing and enforcement of standards for securing electronic patient data.
Rapid7 Report: Data Breaches in the Government Sector
Rapid7, the leading provider of security risk intelligence solutions, analyzed data collected and categorized by the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse Chronology of Data Breaches. Using this data, the company outlined patterns for government data breaches, including year, month, location and breach type patterns. This information and tips for protecting infrastructure can ensure that government IT environments stay protected against malicious attacks and unintended disclosure.
[CB20] Law Enforcement Access to Transborder Data: Global Reach of the Propos...
The increasingly sophisticated realm of crime involves challenges related to digital evidence, and employing such evidence in court, as well as actors, actions, or substantial effects that are wholly or in some part located or have been carried out in different jurisdictions. Access to relevant evidence is essential both for the conviction of criminals and for the protection of those wrongly accused. However, due to the decentralised nature of cyberspace, the targeted evidence may be residing in multiple jurisdictions at once or it may be impossible to identify the location at all at a given time (e.g. in the case of cloud computing).
This presentation examines a range of traditional and novel tools aimed at ensuring law enforcement agencies’ cross-border access to evidence such as the Mutual Legal Assistance framework, and the initiatives in the European Union (notably the e-Evidence proposal), Council of Europe (the Budapest Convention) and in the United States. The discussion then moves on to relevant principles of international law such as territorial sovereignty, and seeks to examine the possible global reach and effect on other regions of the EU e-Evidence proposal.
IT Security in Higher Education
According to Analysts, the Higher Education sector is the most breached of any industry. This white paper outlines key reasons why universities are more affected by security issues and how they can better prepare themselves to address IT security and vulnerability management challenges.
Energy Data Access_Who wants the data
The document discusses a survey of 108 energy professionals in California regarding their interest in accessing energy usage data. The top concern regarding data accessibility cited by respondents was promoting indirect outcomes of open access such as programmatic efficiencies. Four out of five respondents reported being interested in customer billing data and energy efficiency information. Respondents represented various levels of government, consultants, non-profits, academics, utilities and private sector product companies. The survey aimed to understand who wants access to the data, what data they want, and for what purposes in order to help inform policy around data access in California.

This paper is about defending a person accused of computer crime and computer-related crime in Court. It is intended as a primer for those defence counsel who have no experience in the specific field of criminal trials involving computer, digital assets and the Internet. At the same time, it provides insights to computer experts wanting to enter into the digital forensics sector, because it offers a way to understand how a lawyer thinks, and what are his needs when designing a defence strategy.
The focus is on the practical issues, as emerged from the direct trial experience of the author and of other criminal trial lawyers, therefore the legal theory and the ICT technical aspects are not discussed in detail. Both the legal and the IT professional, though, can find in the discussion enough hints to widen their understanding of the matter and improve the effectiveness of their strategies.
The paper is structured in three part: a criminological profile’s taxonomy of the defendants, the analysis of the digital investigation carried on by the prosecution to build the case, and the trial strategies of the defence counsel.
Finally, a note on the cases discussed in this paper: where possible, references to court decisions are available, but in some cases, for confidentiality reasons, the paper analyses the relevant elements without providing further information.
Open Government Data & Privacy Protection
The document discusses privacy issues related to open government data initiatives. It notes that while open data brings benefits, privacy concerns have slowed its adoption. The types of government data - infrastructure, public services, and personal - present different privacy risks. Maintaining privacy involves de-identifying and anonymizing data, but these processes do not always guarantee privacy. North American governments are working to address privacy through funding for privacy-enhancing technologies and focusing on privacy within specific domains like healthcare and as an extension of security.

Electronic Surveillance of Communications 100225
The document discusses electronic surveillance of communications and legislation around signal intelligence. It provides context on changes in technology and threats that created demands for new legislation. It describes how signal intelligence works, including intercepting messages and metadata, as well as traffic analysis and social network analysis. Legislation in Sweden and other countries regulates agencies conducting signal intelligence and their mandates, clients, and oversight. Key aspects of Swedish law include the Defence Radio Establishment's mandate for surveillance, its clients and review mechanisms, methods like traffic analysis, and the scope of interception and data collection.
HCMUT IMP Computer Science 20 - E-Government from the view of Privacy
E-Government involves government agencies using technology like the internet to provide services to citizens. However, this raises privacy concerns as personal data from different government records and databases can be combined to create detailed profiles of individuals. The document discusses definitions of e-government and privacy, privacy laws in the US and Vietnam, and technical solutions used to preserve privacy in e-government like data perturbation and anonymization. It also summarizes a case study where medical records from Massachusetts were re-identified by combining them with voter records to find the medical information of the Governor at the time.

This document summarizes the key aspects of net neutrality in the Netherlands. It discusses how internet service providers were attempting to monetize control over content by blocking services like WhatsApp unless extra fees were paid, violating the separation between transport and application layers. The document also outlines the relevant Dutch law on net neutrality and provides a proposed model law. It emphasizes that measures interfering with internet access must be necessary and proportionate to aims like network management, and cannot be used to extract extra fees from users or favor certain services.
Privacy Access Letter I Feb 5 07
This document discusses a "nightmare letter" that organizations could receive from customers requesting details on how their personal information is collected and protected. The letter requests information on what data the organization has on the customer, how it is used and shared, details of any past data breaches or security incidents, security and privacy policies and practices, and technologies used to protect information. It is presented as a tool for organizations to test their ability to respond to access requests and identify privacy issues. The document also discusses Symantec solutions that can help organizations address the types of concerns raised in the letter.
Legal Aspects in Health Informatics
This document outlines a lecture on legal aspects of health informatics. It begins by discussing different types of legal systems such as civil law and common law. It then covers laws related to informatics including computer crimes laws, intellectual property laws, and health privacy laws. A significant portion of the document focuses on explaining the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996, which established national standards for electronic health information in the United States to protect individuals' medical records and other personal health information.

This document discusses regulating social media platforms and algorithms through interoperability requirements. It argues that self-regulation by technology companies is not sufficient and can permit issues like algorithmic discrimination. The document examines options for regulation, including:
1. Requiring dominant platforms to provide interoperability through open APIs to allow competitors access to user data and functionality.
2. Learning from regulations of other industries like telecoms that mandate interconnection.
3. Developing ethical standards and impact assessments for algorithms to address issues like bias, but notes these may not be suitable for all cases. Overall it argues a systematic approach is needed to ensure proper oversight and redress for users affected by automated systems.
ONR Blog 1
The ONC recently released a report describing privacy and security gaps at non-HIPAA covered entities that collect health data. These entities collect large amounts of personal data from devices like fitness trackers but are not regulated by HIPAA privacy rules. This poses risks to individual privacy as data could be misused. The report also finds a lack of encryption and other security measures protecting this health information. It recommends increasing education about appropriate privacy policies and restrictions on how personal data can be used and shared.
How does the data protection reform strengthen citizens rights?
The document summarizes proposed reforms to strengthen data protection for EU citizens. It notes that a 2011 security breach compromised personal data of 77 million customers, and it took a week for the company to notify customers. It argues individuals need more protection as new technologies have changed how people share data online. The proposed reforms would ensure individuals receive clear information about how their data is used and require explicit consent when needed. It would also guarantee access to personal data and make it easier to transfer data between service providers. The reforms aim to increase trust in online services so individuals can benefit from new technologies and an internal market while having robust data protection.
Freedom of expression on the internet
This document discusses Council of Europe standards regarding freedom of expression on the Internet. It outlines that freedom of expression is a fundamental human right, especially in democratic societies, and this right applies to online communications through the Internet. Any restrictions on Internet access or online content must be prescribed by law, pursue a legitimate aim, and be proportionate. Blocking, filtering, and disconnection of individuals can restrict this right. States should guarantee editorial independence and protect journalists' sources online. Two key questions around new technologies are whether they are necessary and proportionate interferences with freedom of expression or could be applied in a disproportionate manner breaching users' rights.

This research sought to prove or disprove the hypothesis that not only are attackers continuing to seek to steal and monetize US citizen data, but also that: 1. Given past attacks, the research community has a moral obligation to create a more stringent identity proofing, research classification of usage and therefore a "least use" framework for data accessibility, and 2. Prior to the release of any research data, the data de-identification process must be more anonymous than the current HITRUST Common Security Framework and NIST SP 800-53 government specifications.

Data Con LA 2019 - Applied Privacy Engineering Study on SEER database by Ken ...
This research sought to prove or disprove the hypothesis that not only are attackers continuing to seek to steal and monetize US citizen data, but also that: 1. Given past attacks, the research community has a moral obligation to create a more stringent identity proofing, research classification of usage and therefore a "least use" framework for data accessibility, and 2. Prior to the release of any research data, the data de-identification process must be more anonymous than the current HITRUST Common Security Framework and NIST SP 800-53 government specifications.

New privacy laws took effect in Australia on March 12th that increase accountability for organizations and the penalties for failing to protect personal data. Surveys found that 60% of Australians chose not to deal with organizations due to privacy concerns and 33% had issues with how their personal information was handled in the last 12 months. While multifunction printers are useful business assets, they can be vulnerable if not secured, as they pose risks like unauthorized access and changes to settings, network sniffing to access data from PCs and printers, and storing thousands of scanned images.

The document discusses how digital technologies are transforming behaviors and raising citizen expectations of government services. It notes that Australians now spend significant time online and use various digital services. This has led to changing expectations where citizens want essential, discretionary, and participatory services from government. The document argues that governments need to adopt a more open, collaborative and user-centered approach to meet these rising expectations, including through the use of social media, open data, and new digital identity systems that give citizens more control over their personal information.

(Executive Summary)MedStar Health Inc, a leader in the healthc
(Executive Summary)
MedStar Health Inc, a leader in the healthcare industry regionally and nation-wide, is a constant target of the malicious attempts of cyber criminals. Over the past 6 years MedStar Health Inc. has faced several instances of data breach most notably, the 2016 breach that compromised 370 computer systems and halted its operations. As the organization continues to digitize and broaden the use of electronic medical records across its facilities, the threat of cyber-attack remains even more pervasive. The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of MedStar Health Inc cybersecurity vulnerabilities, examine the overall causes and impact of the breaches and explore solutions to meet the organization’s cybersecurity challenges.
With a focal point on MedStar Health breaches, a literature-based study was conducted, and various news articles, academic journals and company publications were analyzed. It was found that the 2016 and 2020 data breaches were attacks on the organization’s internet servers. The 2020 hack compromised the records of 668 patients, whereas the 2016 hack was a result of a ransomware infection that compromised 7500 individuals’ records and halted the organizations’ operations. The cost of the virus infection was greater than the $19,000 ransom requested due to additional recovery and remediation costs. It was also revealed that the 2019 breach was due to human error.
To best combat the efforts of cyber criminals, it is recommended that MedStar Health Inc. place greater emphasis on cyber awareness training for employees/professionals, implementing multiple factor authentications and a strong password and identity management system to reinforce its IT infrastructure against future hacks. Failure to effectuate these measures pose significant risk to MedStar Health Inc., its affiliates and patients that extend beyond ransom payments, fines, imprisonment, lawsuits and costs incurred for subsequent identity theft protection services. The damage caused by data security breaches may prove fatal for patients, the company’s most valued asset, compromising public perception and the company’s mission to provide the highest quality of medical care and build long-term relationships with the patients they serve.)

Why merging medical records, hospital reports, and clinical trial data is a v...
Medical privacy and breaches of personal health information (PHI) has been a hot topic for several years. For the clinical trial industry, the main concerns are decline in recruitment resulting from lack of confidence in data handling and instances of breaches that affect data integrity that adversely affect NDA and MA applications in major markets, which precipitates administrative action taken by national regulators in response to local incidents.
European legislators rely extensively on administrative measures implemented by national competent authorities. Although specific and detailed EU-level legislation exists, specific information about data breaches, cases and incidents, volume and type of affected data, root causes and analysis of consequences is largely missing. According to Howard and Gulyas (2014), this lack of organized event records is currently an empirical obstacle but provides opportunity to generate new knowledge about data and privacy protection that could bolster future trial recruitment.
In the U.S., summary details of breaches that involved more than 500 individuals are available at the OCR portal called Wall of Shame for everyone to analyze. Disclosure obligations in HIPAA made the problem of data breaches in healthcare obvious and protection of the privacy of patients has been an important part of physicians’ code of conduct. This offers lessons learned to mitigate systemic vulnerabilities that undermine trial participation.

Adjusting Your Security Controls: It’s the New Normal
Most of us learned cybersecurity practices based on the application of controls that were part of a framework. Once the framework was implemented then the controls didn’t change often. It’s time to adjust our thinking and recognize that on-going adjustment of controls may be a better indicator of cyber-maturity than adherence to any framework.

Data science and privacy regulation
This document summarizes key points about data science and privacy regulation:
1. Regulation aims to alter behavior according to standards to achieve defined outcomes, and can involve standard-setting, information gathering, and modifying behavior.
2. With "big data", problems arise for the laissez-faire conception of privacy regulation due to market failures, insider threats, and mass surveillance capabilities.
3. Designing for privacy is important, such as data minimization, decentralization, consent requirements, and easy-to-use privacy interfaces. The "data exhaust" from ubiquitous data collection threatens privacy in Europe.
