[Eril-l] Adobe privacy follow-up

[Verminski, Alana]

Hi Craig,

After the initial discovery of Adobe's privacy violation, we wrote a blog
post which included many links to the ALA statement
<http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2014/10/adobe-responds-ala-egregious-data-breach-some-action-expected-week-oct-20>,
Ars Technica article
<http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/10/adobes-e-book-reader-sends-your-reading-logs-back-to-adobe-in-plain-text/>
and The Digital Reader post
<http://the-digital-reader.com/2014/10/06/adobe-spying-users-collecting-data-ebook-libraries/#.VDwW3JXzGCv>.
The blog post is featured in our website rotator to increase visibility,
and hopefully readership.

I haven't checked recently, but here are two updates from October:

   - ALA press release
   <http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2014/10/ala-welcomes-adobe-action-greater-attention-reader-privacy-concerns>
   - The Digital Reader blog post update
   <http://the-digital-reader.com/2014/10/23/adobe-updates-digital-edition-stops-sharing-user-info-internet/#.VFD--pXzGCs>

I hope this information helps!

Best,
Alana
