German Survey Company Loses 41,000 Survey Records

mister_woods writes "It's not just governments that lose private data. Germany's Chaos Computer Club (CCC) reports that market research firm TNS Infratest/Emnid has lost 41,000 private data records of their survey participants. By simply changing the customer ID number in the browser's address bar access could be gained to comprehensive survey results, including names, addresses, dates of birth, email addresses, phone numbers and much more sensitive data. A CCC spokesman described this as 'unprofessional, grossly negligent and above all deeply worrying' and sees this loss as a vindication for its calls for strict regulations for public and private sector data collectors."

Napster Aims To Make Profits In Mobile Music Market - Is the company worth more dead than alive?

Debian teams survey results

Hey folks, As you may remember, back before I started the DPL job I promised to run a survey. Then I pestered a huge number of people to answer a set of questions and get back to me. I've taken longer than I hoped to read through all those responses and summarise them, but finally I'm done. As I said at the time, I'm *not* going to go into great gory detail about individuals or specific teams here and now. Many of the surveys include personal information and I promised to protect that. Instead, this is just a summary of the results. I'll be following up in more detail with various of the teams in the coming weeks. If you have any questions in the meantime, please feel free to contact me. So, enough of the disclaimers... :-) The raw numbers =============== I sent out 75 mails containing survey questions[1] at the end of April.

However, a simple glance at the two sites' homepages seems to tell a different story — studiVZ copies many things from Facebook, from their button layout down to the font they're using."
