![]() Here’s a link to the original Glitch Season 1 post and discussion. ![]() It’s not really a spoiler because it’s in the series description, but I will avoid any further discussion here and warn you away from reading any further. That’s all I’m going to tell you other than it’s not a show for everyone (especially kids)–strong language, sexual content, nudity, and violence. Glitch is an Australian production that offers up a slightly creepy and mysterious premise–a small town police officer discovers a small group of individuals have risen from the dead in the local cemetery. While many of us wait for Season 3 of Stranger Things, Netflix has released Glitch Season 2. Now Season 2 is out… let’s talk about it. In that incident, Amazon also did not reveal how many people were affected.Note: Below you’ll find a modified version of my earlier Glitch Season 1 post where I asked some questions and had some good discussion with readers in the comments. ![]() In October, Amazon notified some customers that an employee had shared their email addresses with a third-party vendor in violation of the company’s policies. But the universe of consumers who use the site is much larger. Some analysts estimate that Amazon now has nearly 100 million subscribers paying for Amazon Prime. Amazon also did not detail the nature of the glitch or its fix. It is not clear when Amazon’s technical error occurred or how long customer data might have been exposed. That includes Amazon’s home state of Washington, where companies must inform residents of data breaches if the mishap includes the unauthorized disclosure of names along with information like Social Security numbers. Most states do have rules, but they generally only cover incidents in which sensitive personal information, like driver’s license numbers or credit-card information, is taken. Yahoo learned of the intrusion in 2014, but the company did not reveal the incident until 2016 when it was in the process of being acquired by Verizon Communications.īut currently, the federal government has no law requiring companies to tell consumers when their information has been stolen or compromised. The Securities and Exchange Commission in April announced Yahoo would pay a $35 million penalty to settle charges that it misled investors by failing to disclose one of the world’s largest data breaches in which hackers stole personal data linked to hundreds of millions of user accounts. Over the past year, tech giants such as Facebook and Google have experienced more serious mishaps affecting their users’ personal data. The latest incident, however, could embolden those who would like to see tech giants and other businesses disclose more information about security incidents to their customers. The security lapse, which Amazon said it was working with law enforcement to investigate, similarly resulted in messages to customers indicating their email addresses had been exposed. In October, the tech giant reportedly fired an employee who inappropriately shared customers’ emails with a third-party seller. It’s not the first time Amazon has run into security troubles. Others questioned Amazon after it told users there’s “no need for you to change your password or take any other action,” fearing that hackers still might try to use their names and email addresses for nefarious purposes, including phishing scams. “Who knows what they’re not disclosing about this,” wrote one user. Among its own sellers, some took to the company’s forums to complain about Amazon’s tight-lipped handling of the matter. Its handling of the security lapse drew sharp criticism on social media. ![]() Amazon’s limited disclosure comes days before the Black Friday and Cyber Monday holiday shopping frenzies, ahead of a season when holiday e-commerce sales estimated to total more than $123 billion, according to eMarketer. ![]()
