Why is the confidentiality of personal data
A Life / / December 19, 2019
Face recognition technology, cloud storage, social networks make us very vulnerable. Alessandro Akvisti in his speech at the TED divided striking examples of the consequences of a disorderly network life.
To get to your privacy, it is not necessarily something to crack. You just need to enter your name into a search engine and more thoughtfully read your tape in social networks. Although technology is evolving rapidly, and huge opportunities for the collection of data increases exponentially, people cut off their heads and spread himself even more personal information. Thus they not only become an easy target for thieves (quite real cases), but also to voluntarily hand over all companies that they previously had to obtain with great difficulty.
In his speech at the TED Global Akvisti Alessandro (Alessandro Acquisti) tells the story of a rather interesting research and social experiments that he conducted with colleagues. It turns out, thanks to Face Detection Technology can easily calculate the human and learn all of his personal data up to the social security number (first five digits from four attempts). And that's just one picture.
Technology, which could use only the security services, were in the public domain. You just need to know how to apply them correctly.
