Google Caches Retain Stolen Data - Shouldn't ICANN require Googles registry shut down google until this is fixed?
All, Well seems Google has again been exposed for it's errant and inconsiderate as well as violation of privacy ways... Shouldn't ICANN request in the best interest of users to temporarily shut down Google until Google permanently fixes this and clearly demonstrates it has done so? Or does ICANN fear the mighty power of Google?!? How can members of the public, trust Google or ICANN if Google is allowed to continually disregard the publics privacy in light also of Google purporting to be now handling Electronic medical records and exposing users, especially the elderly, indigent children, and the disabled, or their families, to massive potential fraud and/or medical blackmail? And FWIW, where is DOC/NTIA, USDOJ, and DHS on this? I hope it is not "ho hum, twiddle my thumb"... I for one and very glad SANS at least, is on the job! >:) Perhaps they should be retained by ICANN, DOC/NTIA, USDOJ, and DHS in a mentoring program on a VERY long term basis. See from Sans: (July 7, 2008) Stolen sensitive personal data, including financial account information, have been found to linger in Google caches for months even after the server holding the stolen information has been disabled. Cyber criminals collect information through keystroke loggers and store the data on servers. When the servers are discovered, they are taken down, but the Google pages are not unless specific requests are made. A Google spokesperson said that in general, the company does not remove cached information, but that it eventually disappears on its own after the original source is no longer accessible. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/07/07/BUHR11CK6Q.DTL&t...
