A hack of location data co Gravy Analytics has revealed which apps are—knowingly or not—being used to collect your info.

Some of the world’s most popular apps are likely being co-opted by rogue members of the ad IDU to harvest sensitive location data on a massive scale, with that data ending up with a location data co whose subsidiary has previously sold global location data to US LE -Candy Crush, Tinder, to pregnancy tracking & religious prayer...

He read books on back pain.

He posted about it on social media.

He (like many) had negative experience w/#healthcare

Wrote review on controversal book - about tech dangers (as computer science grad - not unusual).

⭐ Main problem w/#MassSurveillance, & it's interdependent/symbiotic relationship w/#AI, is not merely #privacy - it's that *Anyone* can be made to appear guilty: w/enough #data collected.

Not claiming his innocence - I don't know. It's about the compromise of all. #luigiMangione

🔢 Tired of messy decimals in your data? Learn how to master R's rounding functions like round(), signif(), ceiling(), and more! This guide is packed with examples to clean up your data and improve precision.

Check it out here: https://www.spsanderson.com/steveondata/posts/2024-12-31/ 💡

#R #RStats #Programming #Data #Tips #Blog
A code snippet in a dark-themed editor demonstrates various R functions for rounding numbers. The functions listed include `round()`, `signif()`, `ceiling()`, `floor()`, and `trunc()`, each with a comment explaining its purpose. Below the list, an example shows the creation of a vector `prices` with values 19.99, 24.49, and 5.75, and the use of the `round()` function to round the vector to 2 decimal places.


Customer Data from 800,000 Electric Cars and Owners exposed Online.

Terabytes of Volkswagen customer details in Amazon cloud storage remained unprotected for months, allowing anyone with little technical knowledge to track drivers movement or gather personal information.

Volkswagen’s automotive software company [Cariad], exposed data collected from around 800,000 electric cars. The info could be linked to drivers names and reveal precise vehicle locations [for some of them being as precise as a few centimeters]. The exposed databases include details for VW, Seat, Audi and Skoda vehicles.

Cariad was informed on November 26 of the issue by the Chaos Computer Club (CCC), the largest organization of ethical hackers in Europe that for more than 30 years has promoted security, privacy, and free access to information.

<https://www.ccc.de/en/>

Access to the car data was possible due to Cariad’s incorrect configuration in two IT applications, a company representative said.

The CCC hackers could access the data only after bypassing several security mechanisms that required significant time and technical expertise. Additionally, because individual vehicle data was pseudonymized for privacy purposes, the CCC hackers had to combine different data sets to associate the details with a particular user.
A Cariad representative said that the exposed data affected only vehicles connected to the internet and had been registered for online services. From the nearly 800,000 vehicles exposed, the researchers found geo-location data for 460,000 cars, for some of them with an accuracy of ten centimeters.

<https://www.carscoops.com/2024/12/vw-group-data-breach-exposed-location-info-for-800000-evs/>

Most of the affected vehicles, 300,000 of them, were in Germany but the researchers also found details about cars in Norway (80,000), Sweden (68,000), the United Kingdom (63,000), the Netherlands (61,000), France (53,000), Belgium (68,000) and Denmark (35,000).

Cariad said that its security team reacted quickly to fix the problem and closed access the same day the CCC sent them the report. CCC representatives confirmed that Cariad’s “technical team responded quickly, thoroughly and responsibly” and that the company reacted within hours of receiving the technical details.

Based on the results of its investigation, Cariad has no evidence suggesting that other parties, except the CCC hackers, had access to the exposed vehicle data or that the information had been misused by a third party.

As @jomc discusses in this article, Bluesky is not decentralized (at least not yet).

Mastodon is today.

That is why I have been more focused on things there where I have more control of my data, social graph and it is more resistant to single-owner problems.

The code demonstrates how to create a sample data frame with four columns: "A" with numbers 1 to 5, "B" and "D" with all `NA` values, and "C" with letters "a" to "e". Below, the code identifies columns with all missing values using `colSums(is.na())` and stores the result in the variable `all_na_cols`, which is then printed. The code highlights R functions and syntax in different colors.


This #givingtuesday I signed up for a recurring monthly donation to CalMatters, an excellent independent news source covering California. It’s got tons of data-driven, local-focused news stories relevant to Californians, and is well worth the contribution (which is way overdue, admittedly).

They’re also doing a triple match today, so if you’re on the fence, now’s a good time to go for it 🐻

A code snippet displayed in a dark-themed editor window shows how to replace missing values (NA) in a vector in R. The code defines a vector v with values c(10, NA, 20, 30, NA, 50). It calculates the mean of the non-missing values using mean(v, na.rm = TRUE) and assigns it to mean_v. Then, it replaces the NA values in v with mean_v. The updated vector v is printed at the end. The editor window features a gray background with red, yellow, and green buttons in the top-left corner.

Facebook and Google are handing over user #data to help police prosecute #abortion seekers

"As abortion bans across the nation are implemented and enforced, law enforcement is turning to social media platforms to build cases to prosecute women seeking abortions or abortion-inducing medication – and online platforms like #Google and #Facebook are helping.
This spring, a woman named Jessica Burgess and her daughter will stand trial in #Nebraska for performing an illegal abortion — with a key piece of evidence provided by #Meta, the parent company of Facebook."
