| 1282618 | 2012-06-18 23:09:00 | How do you really Punish Rich companies like google.... fine them $25,000 Joe Average would be sent to jail for this sort of thing, & the cover up & lies that followed, www.theregister.co.uk "The Information Commissioner's Office has reopened its investigation of Google's controversial Street View technology, after its data-collecting cars collected payload data including emails and passwords from unencrypted Wi-Fi networks." |

| 1282619 | 2012-06-18 23:32:00 | A $25,000 fine to Google Would be effective as my having to pay a $12 parking fine. | Bobh (5192) | ||

| 1282621 | 2012-06-19 01:19:00 | The regulator's head of enforcement Steve Eckersley has sent an aggressive letter to senior Google veep Alan Eustace demanding "prompt" answers to seven questions to explain why Street View was able to slurp such data.Might it be because people are too stupid to secure their networks. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 1282622 | 2012-06-19 01:45:00 | Might it be because people are too stupid to secure their networks. Exactly! I saw this: data including emails and passwords from unencrypted Wi-Fi networks. Explains it all right there! |

| 1282625 | 2012-06-19 02:43:00 | There is no law that says you have to secure your network. Is there one yet that say you have broken and entered if you browse someones network without their knowledge?? | Gobe1 (6290) | ||
| 1282626 | 2012-06-19 05:39:00 | Question I would be asking them, is why they even developed the software to do this. All try are ment to be doing is taking photos isnt it? What is collecting this data going to do for them. There is a bigger picture missing here I suspect. And to take data, emails and passwords, thats just straight mass theft. 25k isnt even a drop in the bucket to them. 2.5 mill per offence would be more fitting. |
