More From Evan Schuman

Can You Trust Amazon's Workmail?
When Amazon rolled out its cloud E-mail package, it talked a lot about user-controlled encryption. What it neglected to mention was that it retained backdoor access--which it planned to use.
Uber shows how not to do a privacy report.

White House Proposal For Sharing Corporate Security Info Full Of Holes
It's a classic security Catch-22. The government wants enterprises to share the most sensitive security details, on the rationale that it will make everyone more secure. Businesses are insisting on strict liability and the government agrees. But the specifics don't add up.
