Here are a few things that you may have missed in digital, media & technology. Contact me if you want to talk about what these might mean for you.
- A Cisco study into consumer trust with privacy in digital business reveals people want more transparency into how personal information is used. Also, abusive data handling and poor privacy practices erode consumer trust. Even without (more) research validating this, I would have thought it self-evident. In case that you need convincing, read the piece here.
- Amazon owned game streaming site Twitch has been hacked. And not just a garden variety hack, they’ve emptied the whole house taking the source code with them. The leak was labelled “part one” so this is one to continue watching (er, so to speak). Change your password if you have an account (at the very least).
- The Pandora Papers, the sequel to the Panama Papers have been released on-line shaming notable figures globally and exposing their financial affairs and dealings. The material could set the foundations to reboot the old Lloyd Grossman show “Through the Keyhole“.
These were prepared listening to Pond’s new album ‘9’, and are best enjoyed with a coffee – or whatever your choice.
Let me know if you want to talk about any of it.
