The OWASP Podcast SeriesIs it time to trust Equifax again? You decide.I was affected by it. You were affected by it. We were all affected by the Equifax breach in September 2017. The truly interesting thing about it is, Equifax wasn't the only company hit by the struts 2 vulnerability that day. Many other companies were hit by it within that time period, but Equifax became the poster child for the main stream media. It was just too easy of a target because of consumer visibility.
In the two years since the breach, Equifax has been working hard to restore its reputation, not just with consumer protection, but with the companies that depend...

What's Next｜科技早知道S3E24 同样是隐私泄漏，为什么Facebook的罚款比Equifax多了10倍主播丨刘泓君 嘉宾丨张璐
后期制作丨迪卡普里鑫
（以下文字只是音频节目的少许补充。「硅谷早知道」每周周五中午12点准时更新，敬请期待。）
我们生活在一个个人能被精准预测和定义的大数据时代，然而，数据泄露事件却屡屡发生。
2019年7月，美国历史两起最大的隐私泄露事件：Facebook用户隐私泄露事件和 Equifax 隐私信息泄露事件均得到了处罚，两家公司分别被处50亿美元和5.75亿-7亿美元罚金。
同样是隐私泄露，为何金额差距如此之大？本期，「财经」杂志与「晚点LatePost」的驻硅谷记者刘泓君担任客座主播，与Fusion Fund 创始合伙人张璐来一起聊聊数据隐私这个话题。

The takeaway
美国互联网创新平台所驱动的人的数字化，在过去十多年已经完成了60%~70%。数字资产在数字世界层面上可以定义一个人的身份。如果这个身份被盗用，它所联系的数字资产就也可以被盗用。
如果数据是被很多家公司所拥有，那每次的损害也许不会让大家觉得那么可怕。但正因为这种数据被少数大公司所垄断，数据泄露的风险也就会更高。所以大公司所要承担的风险和责任也更大。
用户在使用免费服务时，要清楚为什么对方给你提供免费服务。没有任何东西是免费的，一定是有代价的。潜在含义就是我们在用我们的数字资产去支付服务的费用，从而换取免费优质服务。从用户角度讲，不要去期待这些公司不用我的数据资产，还可以得到高质量的免费服务，这个是不存在的一个商业循环。
我们过去这十年经历的除了互联网化还有云服务化。云端存储的过程，也会增加泄漏风险。在这个万物互联的时代，传感器、低成本的摄像头、低成本的路由器，安全系数都很差，你这个时候怎么保证硬件传感器之间进行信息传输时没有信息泄露呢。
我们不仅要去关注到社交信息层面上的垄断，还要关注个人的生物信息。如果这部分信息将来被垄断，很可能在未来，我们每个人的社会层级、社会地位，会基于我们先天的基因的优劣性，这个是很可怕的。
本期讨论的主要问题有：
个人信息数据的泄露，为何危害会越来越大？
为什么Equifax比Facebook泄露数据更多，但罚款却更少？
如何看待23andme这家基因测序公司？
中美两国在数据保护上的不同点；
智能设备的安全性探讨；
在这个万物互联的时代下，如何提高个人的数据隐私意识。
访谈中提及名词
Equifax，美国三大消费者信用报告机构之一。创立于1899年，它收集并保存了全球超过8亿消费者和超过8800万家企业的信息。
