Not sure I like the openness of ParkRun's data. Without a login you can get a lot of info about a particular runner. Thieves can figure out when you're likely to be out and grab your stuff. Insurers & bureaucrats can see how fit you really are. Your age is given away to the nearest 5 years. Seems a bit like accidental self doxxing.
Do any #infosec people have an opinion?

What's your preferred method to send sensible documents via unencrypted email, but otherwise protected/encrypted? This is macos-specific, no Microsoft products in use here, not using Apple Mail, have PGP, but receiver doesn't.
Protecting a document or .zip from it with a good password doesn't seem enough.
And sending such docs via Wetransfer or such also seems weird.
Thanks for any help in advance.

❓ Have you ever wondered how data encryption works and what's the difference between data-at-rest and data-in-use? If yes, check out our latest blog post on Data At Rest Encryption (#DARE).
Simplyblock provides data-at-rest encryption with a fully multi-tenant DARE feature set, which means that you can encrypt multiple logical volumes (virtual block devices) with the same key or one key per logical volume.
Two consecutive stories on my Mastodon feed show the dichotomy and dissonance that we are currently experiencing. On the one hand, a major cloud hack has compromised the information of countless Americans, and on the other hand a technology publication encouraging businesses to not soft pedal on AI.
Eww. Costco is using its 74 million customers' data to build an advertising network
Just like Walmart and Target #privacy #CustomerData #DataSec #advertising #greed #WhoControlsMyData
Has anyone heard of IDX.us? It's supposed to be an "identity protection service" like Lifelock. I am suspicious that it's not .com
I just got a letter from a law firm, Berry Dunn McNeil and Parker about a significant Sep 2023 health data breach involving my #data #privacy #ProtectedData #breach #IDtheft #DataSec
The data belonged to Reliable Networks of Maine. I haven't been in Maine since 1979 but maybe they handle national data.
I don't want to give IDX any data if this whole thing is a #scam or elaborate #phishing ruse #security
It was only a matter of time. #hack #datasec https://techcrunch.com/2023/12/04/23andme-confirms-hackers-stole-ancestry-data-on-6-9-million-users/
