  • Can we just all agree that it's negligent to email plaintext tax documents containing SSNs? #
  • RT @jack_daniel [MA law] does not specifically forbid SSN in email, but that case is covered by 201 CMR 17.00 rules << thanks! #
  • RT @Walshman23 'tis the season (for SSN worst practices, that is) << Nonsense! I'm sure someone's declared emailing SSNs a best practice! #

And then that’s what Bruce said, or didn’t say. Both worth reading:

  • RT @schneierblog Congressional Testimony on the TSA I was supposed to testify today … http://t.co/R73ZtQ6i < Way to silence critics! #

  • RT @Randominterrupt Lay.Ar also does that- not just with Facebook but with twitter and BBM info, as well. It's a bit creepy. #
  • Cutting off API access to a single app misses the point, @foursquare. What's the systematic fix? http://t.co/QOjPo0Wc #
  • RT @joebeone is there a systematic fix to 4sq API access mashed up with FB promiscuity? ::) << I don't know, but whac-a-moling apps isn't it #
  • Maybe the best thing to do would be for @foursquare to let "Girls Around Me" be what it turns out to be–a great educational tool #
