Shred-A-Thon Days Tackle ID Theft for Westchester Residents

Westchester County Executive Andrew J. Spano announced the launch of a mobile shredder machine to help residents combat identity theft. Allocated with recycling funds, the $60,000 shred-mobile has capacity to shred 150 pages at one time and hold up to one ton of shredded paper.

County spokeswoman Susan Tolchin said, "[the truck] is raising public awareness and physically doing something to help our residents prevent their identities from being stolen. We don't want Westchester residents to have to go through the heartache, misery, aggravation and financial loss of having their identity stolen."

This not-for-profit initiative is for residents only at household chemical clean-up day events held throughout the county and will not be offered to businesses. Residents' personal papers will be shredded on-the-spot and recycled.

NASCIO Releases Research Brief for State CIOs
NASCIO's Security and Privacy Committee has released its latest research brief, "Keeping Citizen Trust: What Can a State CIO Do to Protect Privacy?" This research examines how privacy in the state government context has evolved as a defining issue in response to rapidly changing technological advances and the complexities of a fast-paced world. It further explores some initial areas in which a state CIO may encounter privacy issues and offers potential ways of addressing those issues.

"Privacy is a particularly daunting challenge for state governments, because citizens have an expectation of openness and transparency. Yet, at the same time, states must foster citizens' trust by ensuring that their private information remains that way," said Brenda Decker, CIO, Nebraska, and NASCIO's Security and Privacy Committee Co-Chair. "This brief starts us down the path of understanding how technology has changed the nature of privacy issues and how they can be effectively addressed."

"We feel that the brief will be of assistance to state CIOs as they encounter privacy issues in many different contexts - from the implementation of new IT systems to the implementation of new laws with technology components. We then provide them with a wide-range of considerations for understanding how they can effectively manage and implement privacy protections and, ultimately, play a part in keeping the citizen trust," said Mary Carroll, CIO, Ohio, and NASCIO Security and Privacy Committee Co-Chair.

Facebook Adds More Privacy Controls

As Facebook relaxes its enrollment eligibility requirements to only a valid email address, members can now take advantage of the site's industry-leading privacy controls.

Facebook's latest expansion makes it possible for anyone with a valid email address to join Facebook and interact with their friends and people in their region. New users are still required to prove affiliation to access an existing college or work network, and are also asked to validate their mobile phone number to verify their account.

Consistent with Facebook's unique network structure, people's profiles are only accessible to other people in the same network and to confirmed friends. With this expansion, Facebook has launched additional privacy controls that allow every user to: block other users in specific networks from searching for his or her name, prevent people in those networks from messaging, poking and adding him or her as a friend, and control whether his or her profile picture shows up in search results.

"We are expanding to respond to the requests of millions of people who want to be part of Facebook, but haven't been able to until (now)" said Mark Zukerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook. "About one-third of Facebook's college users have already graduated and are now interacting with more people outside of their schools and work environment."

Announcing Extension of Public Comment Period Related to Prerecorded Telemarketing
The FTC has approved the publication of a Federal Register notice announcing the extension of the public comment period on two proposed amendments to the Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR). The two proposals were announced in a previous Federal Register notice on October 4, 2006. One proposal would explicitly prohibit using prerecorded messages in telemarketing calls answered by a consumer (unless the consumer has given prior written consent to receive such prerecorded message calls). The other proposal would change the method of calculating the maximum allowable rate of call abandonment from a "per day per calling campaign" standard to a "per thirty days per calling campaign" standard. The public comment period will now expire on December 18, 2006.
