Privacy is dead!!

Thanks to an avid reader, I am updating the blog of yesterday Privacy and Shame and Fame.  It was about the commoditisation of privacy and shame.  That both are being bought and sold at ever greater numbers. 

In this article published today, the author Lia Timson attended the RSA 2012 conference.  She writes about the presentation by George Kurtz (and others) whereby they demonstrated that both iPhone and Android are vulnerable to drive by hacking.  

Well we knew that right?  But the scope and scale of the information available through this hacking is the final nail in privacy.  As Kurtz said “If you haven't figured out privacy is dead, this is going to do it for you.”
