New York Airport Gets Federal Drone Testing Extension – New York, United States
With the passage of the Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization Act in Congress, Griffiss International Airport’s designation as an unmanned aircraft systems test site has been extended. The designation was set to expire next year, but the passage of the bill allows drone research and development to continue until 2023 at the Rome site, as well as six others across the country. The extension will ensure that the New York UAS Test Site at Griffiss remains at the forefront of public policy development, commercialization and safe integration of UAS into the global airspace, according to a news release from Sen. Charles Schumer. Since the New York Test Site’s inception in 2014, it has worked with more than 200 partners to advance UAS research and accelerate industry economic development in the region, he said. “With this critical test site extension at Griffiss, we have delivered to NUAIR and Oneida County another critical win to keep it at the cutting edge of this new technology,” Schumer said in the release.

Google+ Is Shutting Down After A Vulnerability Exposed 500,000 Users’ Data – Worldwide
Google is going to shut down its social media network Google+ after the company suffered a massive data breach that exposed the private data of hundreds of thousands of Google Plus users to third-party developers. According to the tech giant, a security vulnerability in one of Google+’s People APIs allowed third-party developers to access data for more than 500,000 users, including their usernames, email addresses, occupation, date of birth, profile photos, and gender-related information. Since Google+ servers do not keep API logs for more than two weeks, the company cannot confirm the number of users impacted by the vulnerability. However, Google assured its users that the company found no evidence that any developer was aware of this bug, or that the profile data was misused by any of the 438 developers that could have had access.
