" it wouldn't be right for me to keep it private". Oh, wouldn't it? Perhaps, just perhaps, he could have written a blog post about the potential privacy breach and warn other users, instead of digging deeper and spreading it wider than anyone ever intended?

Aaaaand with that, the debate over the utility/ethics of disclosing cybersecurity/privacy vulnerabilities rears its head again -- as it usually does around this time each summer. I've already seen several MSM articles rehashing those issues/concerns over the past few days in advance of the Blackhat/Defcon events in Vegas this week, with the usual predictable debates and soundbytes on both sides of this issue. Same issues/concerns, different year. I'm sure it's not the only such disclosure that will be made this week, too, either at the cons or elsewhere. -rick On Jul 27, 2010, at 10:41 , Dana Rotman wrote:

... and no, my last note was not meant as a reaction to anyone's postings/sentiment here. Rather, I was referring to general media/industry discussions/statements over this stuff. (Just so none of the AIR'ers think I was referring to them.) No confusion meant! -rick On Jul 27, 2010, at 10:51 , Richard Forno wrote:

As was discussed on this list previously, this is information which is already actively scraped and (ab)used by any number of corporations already. Nick White

Quoth Michael Zimmer:
Does that make it right? -mz
No, and I didn't mean to imply that. But it's a fact that too often is missing from these debates, when it changes a lot. Notably, that these scrapes aren't releasing new information to those whom traditional privacy discourses have generally considered the biggest threat -- they already have it -- but to others.
