A European Commission effort to require instant messenger apps such as WhatsApp and iMessage to scan for child sexual abuse material would likely violate Europeans' human rights and weaken encryption protections for consumers, a leaked document from the commission's internal legal service says.
Quantum computers and chatbots, as well as hype around blockchain, were topics discussed during The Cryptographers' Panel at RSA Conference 2023. For anyone who needs to keep data secure for more than 30 years, advice from panelist Adi Shamir was simple: Don't rely on public key cryptography.
A European effort to wrest greater control over the infrastructure underpinning internet encryption has some security experts warning about degraded website security. The European Union is on the cusp of requiring web browsers to honor web certificates known as QWACs.
Major internet chat platforms are urging the United Kingdom government to reconsider a bill intended to decrease exposure to online harms but which opponents say would open the door to massive government surveillance. Proponents say online platforms should have a duty of care to protect users.
A 3-month-old federal law meant to future-proof federal computers from quantum computer decryption will have an effect on healthcare sector entities, too, says Mac McMillan, founder and CEO emeritus of privacy and security consulting firm CynergisTek.
Bulking up your cybersecurity defense starts with proactive steps long before a data breach occurs.

A class action lawsuit against LastPass alleges that a data breach in August resulted in the theft of $53,000 in bitcoin. An unnamed plaintiff alleges that negligence in the password management company's data security practices led to the Thanksgiving weekend theft.
U.S. President Joe Biden signed into law the Quantum Computing Cybersecurity Preparedness Act, designed "to encourage the migration of federal government IT systems to quantum-resistant cryptography" by ensuring they prepare strategies now for implementing forthcoming cryptography standards.
Smartphone giant Apple says that starting later this year, users can enable end-to-end encryption of iPhone backups stored in the company's commercial cloud. Apple took pains to frame its announcement in the context of cloud computing data breaches.
