First #GDPR fine by Polish DPA. 6M records in database. Scrapped from public sources. Not informed data subjects about their rights. 229k EUR fine. Breach of Article 14. Impressive: no particular explanation provided.
English press release related to the first PL #GDPR fine. 6M user data scraped from public registers. Not informed data subjects about their rights. €220k fine. No tech component; purely lawful case. uodo.gov.pl/en/553/1009
Full justification of the #GDPR enforcement here. 220k fine is only one thing. Company has been ordered to inform all the 6M data subjects. Costs might exceed the fine. Full GDPR in action here. uodo.gov.pl/decyzje/ZSPR.4… (via G/translate)
The fined company has self-disclosed. It contests the €220k fine, as well as the order to contact all the relevant people (cost ~30x exceeding the fine). English release here: bisnode.pl/wiedza/newsy-a…
Following the first #GDPR fine in Poland (€220k), a new self-declared progressive party wants to SUSPEND GDPR. That would be illegal. @ALDEgroup @TheProgressives

Massive ad fraud botnet taken down. Pretended to be human traffic, exploited Real-Time Bidding vulnerabilities. I researched this in 2013, interesting how long it take to be operationalized. services.google.com/fh/files/blogs…
The scale of the operation is huge. Over 3 Billion bid request fraud, over 1 million of compromised machines. Border Gateway Protocol hijacking was even used. The biggest and most sophisticated operation like that ever.
What fascinates me is that the attackers used some of the techniques I tested and described here: lukaszolejnik.com/rtbdesc (some details omitted). I also played with the bot detection evasion ;)

Here’s a short EU #dataprotection thread relating to some of the work I‘ve been doing on #researchethics. The #GDPR is broadly a very good thing but it’s starting to look like a bit of a car crash for established ethical standards in research (1)
Why? A combination of highly effective market research lobbying for business as usual together with wider demands to “repurpose” data for “research” pushed EU negotiators into lowering the data protection bar for “research” activities across the board (2)
Fine you might say, research is very important and we shouldn’t overregulate. But what it means in practice is that once someone has your data, it is now much fairer game for “research” purposes (3)

Your work history is distinct, more than most passwords. Your resume identifies you (who else had your last 2 to 4 jobs?) even without your name/photo. @LinkedIn as a social network relies on the collective trust of its users to honor the contexts of career and work.
#GDPR makes @LinkedIn accountable for how the company sticks to promised uses of your data, but GDPR doesn't cover how other members of the network use or abuse your information. Social norms (and peer payback like @LeenaVanD offers) can raise the stakes. But abuse happens.
Most data protection laws deal with the relationship between you and companies. The next round of laws will start to cover data in motion (chat, calls, data in transit). But they also should start to consider person-to-person use/abuse of your data. #gdpr #privacy @IdentityWoman

1/ From a @jjmacnab tweet. Her take on Russian influence operations. BQ My take on Russian propaganda is very different from most. My theory is that they started egging on extremists years ago to turn on govt, police, and
2/ each other and only then moved on to electoral issues in 2015. EQ I think she is correct. I will expand. There had been since at least the 1990s, exchanges between Russian intelligence and the Christian Right, though these guys may have been unwitting, and the racist right.
3/ They may have been unwitting, but I'm not that certain. For example, white supremacists were going to Europe to meet Russian nationalists. All the Russian nationalists worked for RS intelligence. But, I think the first real Russian influence operation came in late 2008 when

UCC had opportunity to comment on the #Data.Protection & Privacy Bill. The enactment of this law is long overdue. A comprehensive law on the collection & processing personal information gives effect to the right to Privacy envisaged under Article 27(2) of the Constitution
UCC welcome the protections offered by the Bill in terms of export of data, breach notification requirements, data subjects access rights, automated decision making, compensation and the right to be forgotten and provision for financial and penal sanctions for breach of the law.
Distinction between Data collectors & data controllers.
The Bill should however clarify & distinguish Data Collectors, from Data Processors & Data Controllers. Clause 2 is inconsistent with international good practice which provides for two broad categories of Data Controllers

The Clintons use the Clinton Family Foundation, a smaller and separate entity than the Clinton Foundation, as their charitable vehicle.
All money written off as “charity” is parked in the Clinton Family Foundation, the funds are then disbursed to a number of organizations.
Bill Clinton acts as the foundation's president while Hillary acts as its secretary and treasurer. Chelsea Clinton is listed as its director.

Looks like another early-morning wake-up to catch Cambridge Analytica's regulator @ICOnews giving oral evidence to @CommonsCMS tomorrow. I might be livetweeting the livestream if Information Commissioner Elizabeth Denham offers any new revelations. parliament.uk/business/commi…
2/ Hopefully you've seen @Billbrowder give testimony about his Magnitsky Act campaign. Despite his accent, he's a British citizen, asked to talk about disinformation campaign waged against him. @DamianCollins jests that Russian Embassy and Brietbart have gone after @CommonsCMS
3/ @edwardlucas articulates how "fairness doctrine" in media coverage can be exploited by Kremlin propaganda mouthpieces that spray doubt over reasonable positions as media especially BBC oblige 'both sides' rather than understand that position as state propaganda.
