(1) Fowler's notification to Raptor was weeks after I sent RAPTOR multiple notifications that they had not responded to appropriately. And I verified: Fowler was notifying them about the same blob I had been notifying them about. So we know that blob was first exposed no later than November 3 when a researcher notified me about it. Did Raptor tell school districts when the blob was first unsecured?
(2) I have sent an inquiry to Raptor asking why they claim only Fowler and their staff had accessed files, as the first (November) researcher had accessed files in November and I had accessed them in December to verify and to check to see if Raptor locked it down after I notified them. I have now asked Raptor if they really have access logs.
Amazingly, I have gotten no response so far. Again.
(3) I also reached out to Ann Arbor Public Schools to ask what they did in response to the security alert I sent them on December 3 that they never responded to.... and to ask if Raptor told Angell Elementary that there was a file with every student's picture and information -- including parental phone numbers and emergency phone numbers that was leaking and downloaded.
So far, I haven't heard back from AAPS or Angell Elementary School either.

"Accountability is a familiar buzz-word in contemporary social movements, but what does it mean? How do we work toward it? In this series of four short videos, anti-violence activists Kiyomi Fujikawa and Shannon Perez-Darby ask and explore: What does it look like to be accountable to survivors without exiling or disposing those who do harm?"
"It is really hard to see someone as a human being and hold them in their full humanity and see the harm they have done. That is a very hard task. Each of us needs to increase our ability to hold the complexity of seeing someone as a full human and seeing the harm they have done.
Any tips on how to do that?
Engagement. Moving towards that person. Getting more comfortable with the presence of conflict as a necessary part of healing and moving forward as a community."
So it turns out that I had also been trying to get Raptor Technologies to lock down their data. I posted the WIRED story with a note explaining what I had done and when -- and how neither Raptor Technologies nor a school district had replied to responsible disclosure:
"David Rogers, chief marketing officer at Raptor Technologies, tells WIRED the company “immediately implemented remediation protocols” to secure the exposed data once it was contacted and started an investigation into the issue. “We have communicated with all Raptor customers,” Rogers says. “There is no indication at this time that any such data was accessed by third parties beyond the cybersecurity researcher and Raptor Technologies personnel,” he says, adding there is no reason to believe there has been any misuse of the information."
That's flat-out inaccurate. The data were also accessed by the researcher who contacted me in November and by me to verify the leak and to check to see if it had been secured. So at least two other third parties accessed data. Why isn't Raptor accurate about this? Don't they have access logs?
Reflect on the day's collaborations and how balance was achieved amidst different perspectives. What lessons did you learn about partnership and accountability, and how can these insights inform your professional relationships moving forward?
The right is obsessed with talking about bathrooms because accountability is different in bathrooms, especially in a gendered way. People do drugs in the bathroom. People have sex in the bathroom. People bully and abuse vulnerable people in the bathroom. People hide top secret classified information in the bathroom.
Today, reflect on the balance you've sought in your professional relationships and tasks. Consider how discipline and structure have influenced your productivity. Ponder on fairness, ethics, and accountability in your dealings.

#Trump took in ≥$7.8 million from foreign governments / entities while in office most of it from China, provably engaging in exactly the kind of conduct the #GOP is grasping to pin on President #Biden.
The documented transactions, detailed in a 156p report called #WhiteHouseForSale that was produced by #Democrats on the House #Oversight Cmte, offer concrete #evidence that #Trump engaged in the kind of conduct that #House#Republicans have labored, so far unsuccessfully, to prove that President #Biden did as they work to build an #impeachment case against him.
IMHO: #Mozilla is repeating the #OpenAI process. A growing conflict between community driven/focused products and greedy managers thinking more VC (Venture Capital) style as they become more and more decoupled from the humble origins. This conflict will explode (I mean — asking for donations while the managers take home millions has a weird smell to it) soon and money will win (again). It's really a shame in this case.
Oha, dieses #fediverse ist doch einfach nur kaputt 😢
Der dritte Account der uns einfach gesperrt wurde, ohne Vorankündigung. So macht das hier alles keinen Sinn mehr. Instanzen blocken sich und User werden einfach gekickt, ohne dass man darüber spricht was das Problem ist.
Again: Ideally we'd all have non-violent and supportive and cooperating individuals, but sadly that's not always the case.
And at some point #Accountability and #Consequences must kick in, because otherwise this would be an open invitation for the few that are violent aggressors to murder and pilferage...
