Security This Week: If You Sue Ashley Madison, You'll Have to Use Your Real Name
This week it became more clear than ever that the Apple-FBI fight was just the beginning of a new wave of encryption fights. Vibes announced that it would enable encryption by default for its 700 million users--and since it's a foreign company, Congress won't be able to do a thing about it. Oh, and that San Bernadino iPhone that caused all the fuss? Sounds like the FBI paid over a million bucks to a third party to access it. There were also hearings about encryption on Capitol Hill this week, though whatever legislation Congress does come up with would be much more informed if the Office of Technology Assessment hadn't been axed 20 years ago.
