100 000 € : a so much is the penalty that the authorities privacy fined Google in France, thereby recognizing the group guilty of the data intercepted by Google on open networks cross-Car-Alpine territory.
The scandal broke out in Germany and Google originally tried to stem the problem by explaining that it did not in any way intentionally intercepted the data along the route. Not only that data collection would have been fragmented and unusable, but unrelated to any particular identity and not related to any password. Gradually, the arguments of this group were removed, however, and in various countries around the world has seen the case to be examined by a competent authority.
The penalty imposed by the CNIL ( Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertés ) considers the intentional interception made by Google during the mapping of the territory for its own service Street View and, therefore, impose a heavy fine motivated by the findings of investigations carried out:
The analysis of data by the CNIL found that Google has, in addition to technical data (identifiers Siida and MAC addresses of access points Wi-Fi), large amounts of data on individuals, or can be identified (data connection Websites, passwords, email, email addresses, including e-mail exchanges that reveal sensitive information about sexual orientation or health).
The French not only to Google denies the facts in themselves, but also the non-cooperation in response to two requests for information about Latitude and service code used for the detection of Wi-Fi open. Meanwhile, the case was closed in the U.S. with theforgiveness by the FTC, while it remains still open on the Italian territory.
