TL;DR: This research approaches privacy management in OSNs as an access control problem and proposes a formal Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) language; SocACL, which is based on Answer Set Programming (ASP) and allows for policy specification using the most abundant sources of information available inOSNs; user attributes and relationships.
Abstract: Online Social Networks hold vast amounts of readily accessible personal information leaving them particularly vulnerable to privacy breach attacks [6]. With the impact these breaches varying from simply embarrassing the user, to negatively influencing the decision of potential employers, identity theft and even physical harm it is important that they are addressed. In this research we approach privacy management in OSNs as an access control problem. We propose a formal Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) language; SocACL. SocACL is based on Answer Set Programming (ASP) and allows for policy specification using the most abundant sources of information available in OSNs; user attributes and relationships. This paper outlines SocACL's core concepts, features, syntax and semantics.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the identity theft victimization experiences of high school students, as well as the predictors of it being reported to school counselors, and found extremely interesting predictors related to the number of reports filed by students.
Abstract: Purpose
The purpose of this paper was to explore the identity theft victimization experiences of high school students, as well as the predictors of it being reported to school counselors.
Design/methodology/approach
In July and August 2014, an online survey was sent to every registered member of the American School Counselor’s Association (ASCA). School counselors were questioned about their experiences in regarding online victimization of their students.
Findings
Results of this analysis revealed extremely interesting predictors of school counselor demographics related to the number of reports filed by students.
Research limitations/implications
There was a small response rate because the survey was sent to all registered members of the ASCA, instead of a specific targeted group (which would have been more appropriate).
Practical implications
The results indicate a need for further resources and training dedicated to school counselors to manage identity theft victimization of students.
Originality/value
As far as the authors are aware, no other study of this kind has previously been performed. In addition, there is little known about identity theft victimization of adolescents.
