Känsliga uppgifter om svenskars sjukdomar hanteras av icke-säkerhetsklassad IT-personal i Rumänien, skriver Dagens Nyheter som hänvisar till anonyma källor.Uppgifterna handlar bland annat om syn- och hälsointyg samt provresultat om droganvändning, psykisk sjukdom eller olika former av tvångsvård, som lämnats in till Transportstyrelsen av läkare i samband med körkortsansökningar, rapporterar DN.LÄS MER: Personuppgifter läckte från outsourcad myndighetsdata redan 2012Uppgifterna har inte hämtats hem änKällor uppger för tidningen att informationen inte hämtats hem än eftersom Transportstyrelsen prioriterat de uppgifter som Säpo ansett utgöra störst fara för rikets säkerhet.

Redan för fem år sedan läckte känsliga personuppgifter ut på nätet efter att svenska myndigheter hade outsourcat sin datalagring utan att ställa tillräckliga krav på säkerhet.– Om vi hade tagit den här diskussionen redan då hade vi inte behövt ta den nu, säger IT-säkerhetsexperten Robert Malmgren, som jobbade med att hantera intrånget för fem år sedan.Han menar att enda anledningen till att det inte blev politisk kris den gången var att medierna hade allt fokus på Saudiaffären, som avslöjades samtidigt.IT-läckan på Transportstyrelsen är inte första gången känsliga uppgifter har läckt ut till obehöriga.

Two German researchers say they have exposed the porn-browsing habits of a judge, a cyber-crime investigation and the drug preferences of a politician.The pair obtained huge amounts of information about the browsing habits of three million German citizens from companies that gather ”clickstreams”.These are detailed records of everywhere that people go online.The researchers argue such data – whoch some firms scoop up and use to target ads – should be protected.The data is supposed to be anonymised, but analysis showed it could easily be tied to individuals.People’s browsing history is often used to tailor marketing campaigns.

Judge Lucy Koh turned down the motion in a late Friday ruling, according to Reuters, specfically rejecting an Apple argument that the plaintiffs in the case had suffered no financial loss since FaceTime is a free service.

”FaceTime is a ’feature’ of the iPhone and thus a component of the iPhone’s cost,” Koh said in a footnote of her ruling. ”Indeed, Apple advertised FaceTime as ’one more thing that makes an iPhone an iPhone.'”

After losing a lawsuit to VirnetX —whoch claimed FaceTime was violating patents —the company began routing calls through Akamai servers, spending $50 million in one six-month period alone. The plaintiffs in the current case charge that Apple disabled FaceTime on devices running iOS 6 or earlier in April 2014, doing so simply because it was able to create a cheaper alternative to Akamai in iOS 7.
