Video: Consumers are catching on to the data value exchange game.

Video: Consumers are catching on to the data value exchange game.

Following the Cambridge Analytica scandal, Australia media company, Pureprofile, surveyed consumers to measure perceptions surrounding data use by organizations. Almost half (48%) were concerned about how their data was being used and intended to make changes to their privacy and sharing settings. Surprisingly, 26% of the Australian users surveyed decided to change or close their Facebook account.

When combined with other research on attitudes towards data use, it becomes clear that consumers are growing increasingly aware of the value exchange that occurs with online services, social media, and companies. However, they are not satisfied with how their data is being used and who exactly is using it, signaling a future paradigm shift in the way customers respond to data breaches.

Fostering trust with cyber vigilant customers begins by explaining how you are protecting their data. Consider highlighting your security solutions and outline how customer data is only being used when necessary, and with the intention of improving customer experiences to make their lives easier.

German Politicians and Celebrities are Under AttackHundreds of German parliament members, most notably Chancellor Angela Merkel, and celebrities are having their personal details leaked in what seems to be a politically motivated cyber-attack. Information including financial details, contact information, private conversations, and more was originally leaked in December on a Twitter account, which was only recently discovered and suspended.

Although six of seven main political parties were among those affected, no members from the far-right Alternative party (AfD) seem to be impacted. Officials are saying that the data could have been obtained by hackers using stolen passwords to log into email accounts, social networks, and cloud-based services.
