Security company putting pressure on blogger 0
Bloggers are known to discuss and talk about sensitive issues. It’s what makes blogs so fun to read. But can discussions really get too sensitive?
RSA Security thinks so. RSA Security is one of the top security companies in the US and recently it sent a takedown notice to a blogger and the blog’s hosting company as a way of stopping the blogger from discussing the vulnerability that was found on a bank web site, a client of RSA Security and a site that it is helping monitor.
The flimsy accusation is based on the blogger, Scott Jarkoff, committing trademark infringement when discussing the said issue in his blog, Techmiso. This tactic is often used by companies if they want to silence any kind of negative coverage or criticism of these companies.
Fortunately, in a recent development, RSA Security has stopped with its bullying tactics after Techmiso showed that it did not infringe on any kind of copyright.
We’ll see if this is enough to stop the company or if it is just regrouping and will fire a fresh new salvo in the future.
