• Wired

Not only is its parent company, Avid Life Media, offering a $500K CDN reward for info on the hackers, and not only are the lawsuits rolling in, but on Friday CEO Noel Bidermen stepped down. The world's biggest online drug marketplace Agora is on hiatus following suspicious activity that its moderators think was intended to deanonymize the site.  The UN's newly appointed privacy chief described the UK's digital surveillance as worse than 1984. Meanwhile, a U.S. appellate court ruled that the Federal Trade Commission can regulate and fine companies for getting hacked, so long as they engaged in unfair or deceptive business practices, such as publishing a privacy policy and failing to make good on it.
