Recent investigations by German authorities discovered that the Google street car was recording information about Wireless Access Points it detected during its journeys. More seriously it was revealed that the system recording that data was also gathering any data being transmitted over any unsecured wireless networks it detected. Google claims that this was a mistake and has promised to delete all such data.
On Tuesday the 18th May the RTE news covered the story and I was interviewed as part of the piece which is available here.
