Die Internet-Organisation ICANN scheint auch knapp vier Monate vor Inkrafttreten der EU-DSGVO keinen praktikablen Plan zu haben, wie ihre Whois-Datenbank sich mit den neuen Vorschriften vertragen könnte.
Die Datenschutzgrundverordnug der Europäischen Union sorgt nicht nur in Europa, sondern weltweit für verstärkte Aufmerksamkeit für Datenschutzfragen. Die im englischen Sprachraum als "European Union's General Data Protection Regulation" (GDPR) bezeichneten Vorschriften betreffen unter anderem auch das Whois-Sytem, den weltweiten Verzeichnisdienst für Domain-Namen.
Diese Daten sind in der Whois-Datenbank gespeichert und öffentlich abrufbar. Und da nicht nur simple Zuordnungen von Nameserver-Adressen und Domain-Namen in der Datenbank enthalten sind, sondern auch personenbezogene Daten wie die Namen von für den Domain-Betrieb Verantwortlichen (AdminC, TechC oder BillingC), entspricht das Whois-System nicht den Ende Mai 2018 inkrafttretenden EU-Vorschriften.

EU-Kommission muss handeln
Unabhängig davon ist zu befürchten, dass die – nach den Snowden-Enthüllungen von US-Präsident Obama in der PPD-28 angeordneten – partiellen Sicherungen des Datenschutzes für Nicht-Amerikaner bei der geheimdienstlichen Überwachung außer Kraft gesetzt werden. Auch wenn dies noch nicht geschehen ist, warnen schon jetzt maßgebliche Vertreter der US-Politik und -Wirtschaft, darunter auch republikanische Kongressmitglieder, vor einem solchen Schritt, denn spätestens damit würden die US-Zusicherungen, darunter die Erklärung des US-Geheimdienstkoordinators im Rahmen der Privacy Shield-Verhandlungen obsolet.
Vor diesem Hintergrund muss die EU-Kommission unverzüglich handeln. Sie darf mit der Prüfung, ob die Voraussetzungen für den Angemessenheitsbeschluss zum Privacy Shield noch gegeben sind, nicht erst bis zur regulären, für Sommer 2017 vorgesehenen Review des Privacy Shield warten. Das heutige Statement von EU-Justizkommissarin Vera Jourova beim Treffen der EU-Justizminister in Malta deutet darauf hin, dass sich die Kommission des Ernstes der Lage durchaus bewusst ist. Das Abkommen "beruhte weitgehend auf dem Vertrauen, das wir in die amerikanischen Partner hatten, zur Obama-Regierung", sagte Jourova. "Dieses Vertrauen muss andauern oder erneuert werden."

On the 7th of November, young European white hat hackers will meet at Düsseldorf to measure their skills in attacking and defending computer systems. During the 2nd European Cyber Security Challenge, participants will have to discover vulnerabilities in web applications, binaries and document files, solve crypto puzzles and hack hardware systems. However, technical skills are just one part of the whole story. As the time and resources will be limited, teamwork skills are also extremely important. The competition will end with a presentation by each team. The complete skillset which is important for working in an IT security team, is thus tested. The goal of the competition is to bring new people into professional IT security field, therefore the participants are limited to young people who do not yet have higher education in the field and who do not work in it professionally. The event will also include a conference and teambuilding exercises where connections between contestants and the industry are made and paths for a future career are forged.

A commercial data transfer pact provisionally agreed by the EU executive and the United States in February received the green light from EU governments on Friday, the European Commission said, paving the way for it to come into effect next week.
Its introduction should end months of legal limbo for companies such as Google, Facebook and MasterCard after the EU's top court struck down the previous data transfer framework, Safe Harbour, on concerns about intrusive U.S. surveillance.
Representatives of European Union member states voted in favor of the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield, which will underpin over $250 billion dollars of transatlantic trade in digital services by facilitating cross-border data transfers that are crucial to international business.
"Today member states have given their strong support to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield, the renewed safe framework for transatlantic data flows," Commission Vice-President Andrus Ansip and Justice Commissioner Vera Jourova said in a statement.
The Commission, the EU executive, will formally adopt the Privacy Shield on Tuesday.
The Privacy Shield seeks to strengthen the protection of Europeans whose data is moved to U.S. servers by giving EU citizens greater means to seek redress in case of disputes. Learn more / En savoir plus / Mehr erfahren: http://www.scoop.it/t/securite-pc-et-internet/?tag=EU

On 17 May 2016, the Council formally adopted new rules to step up the security of network and information systems across the EU.
The network and information security (NIS) directive will increase cooperation between member states on the vital issue of cybersecurity. It lays down security obligations for operators of essential services (in critical sectors such as energy, transport, health and finance) and for digital service providers (online marketplaces, search engines and cloud services). Each EU country will also be required to designate one or more national authorities and to establish a strategy for dealing with cyber threats.
The Netherlands presidency together with the EU Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA) has already started preparing the implementation of the directive. A first informal meeting of the network of Computer security incident response teams (CSIRT) set up under the directive took place in The Hague on 5 April, followed by a second meeting in Riga on 10 May.
The Council position at first reading adopted today confirmed the agreement reached with the European Parliament in December 2015. To conclude the procedure, the legal act must still be approved by the European Parliament at second reading. The directive is expected to enter into force in August 2016.

Die EU regelt den Umgang mit Daten von Internetnutzern und Flugreisenden neu. Wer im Netz surft, Daten ins Internet stellt oder den Dienstleister wechselt, bekommt mehr Rechte. Für Reisende sieht es anders aus. Wer ins Flugzeug steigt, der muss sich künftig vom Staat stärker auf die Finger schauen lassen.

Background
Hybrid threats refer to mixture of activities often combining conventional and unconventional methods that can be used in a coordinated manner by state and non-state actors while remaining below the threshold of formally declared warfare. The objective is not only to cause direct damage and exploit vulnerabilities, but also to destabilise societies and create ambiguity to hinder decision-making.

The European Union and NATO have today signed a Technical Arrangement between the NATO Computer Incident Response Capability (NCIRC) and the Computer Emergency Response Team – European Union (CERT-EU). The agreement facilitates technical information sharing between NCIRC and CERT-EU to improve cyber incident prevention, detection and response in both organisations, in line with their decision making autonomy and procedures. The signing of this agreement is an important milestone to implement the objectives of the EU Cyber Defence Policy Framework, which has set cooperation with NATO as one of its five priorities. Advanced incident response coordination allows for further development of practical cooperation and the sharing of best practice in cyber defence between the EU and NATO.

This website is a resource to educate the public about the main elements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
After four years of preparation and debate the GDPR was finally approved by the EU Parliament on 14 April 2016. It will enter in force 20 days after its publication in the EU Official Journal and will be directly application in all members states two years after this date. Enforcement date: 25 May 2018 - at which time those organizations in non-compliance will face heavy fines.
The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) replaces the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC and was designed to harmonize data privacy laws across Europe, to protect and empower all EU citizens data privacy and to reshape the way organizations across the region approach data privacy. The key articles of the GDPR, as well as information on its business impact, can be found throughout this site.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Some smartwatches for children sold in Europe pose security risks, including potentially allowing hackers to take control of and track a watch, the EU’s main consumer lobby said on Wednesday, following a new report by one of its members.
The affected smartwatches, which use the Global Position System (GPS) to allow parents to track their child’s location and communicate with them through their mobile phones, do not have sufficient protection, or firewalls, to stop computer hackers, the Norwegian Consumer Council said.
The council also accused some manufacturers of violating EU data protection laws by not stating clearly the risks in their terms and conditions.
“These watches should not find their way into our shops,” Monique Goyens, the director general of the European Consumer Organisation BEUC - of which the Norwegian council is a member - said in a statement.

On 13 September, in his annual State of the Union Address, President Jean-Claude Juncker stated: "In the past three years, we have made progress in keeping Europeans safe online. But Europe is still not well equipped when it comes to cyber-attacks. This is why, today, the Commission is proposing new tools, including a European Cybersecurity Agency, to help defend us against such attacks."
Europeans place great trust in digital technologies. They open up new opportunities for citizens to connect, facilitate the dissemination of information and form the backbone of Europe's economy. However, they have also brought about new risks as non-state and state actors increasingly try to steal data, commit fraud or even destabilise governments. Last year, there were more than 4,000 ransomware attacks per day and 80% of European companies experienced at least one cybersecurity incident. The economic impact of cyber-crime has risen five-fold over the past four years alone.
To equip Europe with the right tools to deal with cyber-attacks, the European Commission and the High Representative are proposing a wide-ranging set of measures to build strong cybersecurity in the EU. This includes a proposal for an EU Cybersecurity Agency to assist Member States in dealing with cyber-attacks, as well as a new European certification scheme that will ensure that products and services in the digital world are safe to use.

Die europäischen Abgeordneten haben den lange umstrittenen Richtlinienentwurf zur Netz- und Informationssicherheit verabschiedet. Damit kommen auf größere Online-Anbieter und Betreiber kritischer Infrastrukturen Auflagen zu.
In abschließender Lesung hat das EU-Parlament am Mittwoch mit großer Mehrheit für neue Vorschriften für eine bessere Sicherheit von Netzwerk- und Informationssystemen gestimmt. Die Abgeordneten bestätigten damit einen Kompromissvorschlag für eine Richtlinie zur erhöhten Cybersicherheit, auf den sich ihre Verhandlungsführer im Dezember mit Vertretern der Mitgliedsstaaten und der EU-Kommission nach langen Auseinandersetzungen verständigt hatten. Der Entwurf erweitert die Verantwortlichkeit von Betreibern kritischer Infrastrukturen und großer Online-Dienstleister.
Die betroffenen Unternehmen werden unter anderem dazu verpflichtet, den Behörden Sicherheits- und Datenschutzpannen sowie IT-Angriffe auf eigene Systeme zu melden. Sie müssen zudem eingesetzte Hard- und Software auf mögliche Lücken überprüfen und gegebenenfalls härten.
Gilt auch für eBay, Amazon und Google
