KU Leuven onderzoekers verbonden aan het "Cybersecurity Program Flanders" haalden gisteren het VRT-journaal naar aanleiding van de risico's van locatiegegevens en mobiele apps. Lees verder hieronder.
A recent headline revealed a troubling reality: the location data of millions of Belgians is being traded commercially. Following the news, VRT News visited the DistriNet labs at KU Leuven to discuss the broader implications of this practice. Our researchers have long studied privacy and security issues, including the risks tied to location tracking by mobile apps. Smartphone apps routinely collect user data, often including precise location information. This data is sold to data brokers and advertisers, fueling a lucrative market for targeted advertising. However, the risks go far beyond marketing. Location data can expose where people live and work, as well as their daily routines and personal habits — creating opportunities for mass surveillance and posing particular dangers to public figures and journalists. So how can users protect themselves? Privacy expert Yana Dimova advises: "Before installing a new app, ask whether it truly needs access to your location. If not, deny unnecessary permissions or look for privacy-friendly alternatives. Reviewing your settings regularly can also help reduce exposure."

🚀 Breakout Session Spotlight: "Frontiers in Cybersecurity Testing: Addressing DevOps and IaaS". How do we secure the tools that build, deploy, and operate modern software systems? In this breakout session at Cybersecurity Industry Day, we’ll explore the evolving security challenges across the DevOps lifecycle, and the research and tools shaping the future of secure automation. 🔍 What to expect: ☑️ How software composition analysis strengthens the software supply chain through up-to-date dependencies and SBOMs ☑️ Why testing Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) artefacts (e.g., Ansible, Terraform) is essential for spotting security weaknesses early ☑️ How Policy-as-Code solutions like OPA and Kyverno can enforce organizational policies and protect runtime environments 👉 Join us to discover how researchers and industry experts are pushing the frontiers of cybersecurity testing in the age of DevOps and cloud infrastructure. 📅 November 13, Lamot Mechelen: Register for Cybersecurity Industry Day today! https://lnkd.in/evazrXPj With Coen De Roover & Ruben Opdebeeck (Software Languages Lab). #industryday #testing #cybersecurity #DevOps #IaaS

Onderzoekers van het Vlaamse Cybersecurity Research Programma analyseerden duizenden websites om te bekijken hoe cookiebanners in de EU zijn geëvolueerd na 6 jaar AVG, en hoe hun naleving wordt beïnvloed door website-uitgevers, CMP's en DPA's. Lees hun bevindingen hieronder.
🍪 Zes jaar AVG en cookiebanners: wat hebben we écht geleerd? Zes jaar na de invoering van de AVG blijven cookiebanners een bron van discussie en frustratie. Ze zouden transparantie en controle moeten bieden, maar doen ze dat ook in de praktijk? In ons nieuwste onderzoek bekijken we hoe cookiebanners in de EU zijn geëvolueerd. We analyseerden duizenden websites om te zien hoe hun ontwerp en naleving werden beïnvloed door drie belangrijke spelers: 👩💻 Website-uitgevers, 🧩 Consent Management Platforms (CMP’s), en ⚖️ Gegevensbeschermingsautoriteiten (DPA’s) Samen vormen zij het ecosysteem dat bepaalt hoe toestemming wordt gevraagd — en hoe goed online privacy écht wordt beschermd. 👉 Lees onze nieuwe blogpost op Cybersecurity Bites: https://lnkd.in/ewwTs3y9 #privacy #cookies #avg #DataProtection #cybersecurity Yana Dimova
