Posts about Privacy and Security Humor by Professor Daniel J. Solove for his blog at TeachPrivacy, a privacy awareness and security training company.
This cartoon makes fun of the fact that these days, there seem to be so many GDPR experts. There are, indeed, many experts who know a lot about GDPR. The problem is that there are a lot more “experts” out there who know only a little about GDPR.
I hope you enjoy my latest cartoon about passwords on the Dark Web. These days, it seems, login credentials and other personal data are routinely stocking the shelves of the Dark Web. Last year, a hacker was peddling 117 million LinkedIn user email and passwords. And, late last year, researchers found a file with 1.4 billion passwords […]
Organizations are racing to get ready for the GDPR implementation date of May 25, 2018.

My cartoon on why notice and choice is often not enough.
This post is a reprise of a post I wrote many years ago that has remained popular. I thought I’d repost it now, during exam grading season, to help professors who want to learn the science and art of grading exams. It’s that time of year again. Students have taken their finals, and now […]
