The Information and Privacy Commissioner (OIPC) of Ontario has ordered LifeLabs to improve and clarify its data protection policies, as well as better inform individuals of their information that was breached. But it’s been tough getting Chrome users to completely stop using those plug-ins. The company is gradually banning plug-ins that hook into the browser using a mechanism called NPAPI (Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface) that’s more than a decade old.
It booked its first back-to-back annual loss in its seven-decade history in March, and has previously pledged to cut 600 staff including a quarter of its management as part of its biggest overhaul Commissioners have delayed releasing the full report as LifeLabs claims it includes privileged or confidential information. The privacy commissioners disagreed and said the report will be made public, unless LifeLabs takes court action. The investigation “reinforces the need for changes to B.C.’s laws that allow regulators to consider imposing financial penalties on companieѕ that violate peoplе’s privacy rights,” Michael McEvoy, information and privacy commissioner of British Columbia, said in the statement.
Now the browser market is highly competitive, and plug-ins are on their way out. Good riddance After years of slow going, the Web programming world is now working productively to expand the Web’s possibilities not with plug-ins, but rather with new Web standards like HTML5’s video and audio support. Plug-ins date back to the era when Microsoft’s Internet Explorer ruled the roost but Web standards stagnated. Google also will remove all NPAPI plug-ins from its Chrome Web Store at this stage.
The second step, in April 2015, will be to disable Chrome’s ability to run plug-ins at all unless a user specifically enables it by setting a flag — website — in Chrome’s technical preferences. And good riddance: plug-ins don’t work on smartphones and tablets, they’re hard to maintain, they’re a bother for users to install, and are a top culprit in browser crashes, slowdowns and security vulnerabilities. The attack occurred in November, but wasn’t discovered until Dec.
