DESCRIPTION:Balachander Krishnamurthy\, AT&T Labs Research\nInternet priva
 cy has become a hot topic recently with the radical growth of Online Soci
 al Networks (OSN) and attendant publicity about various leakages. For the
  last several years\, we have been examining aggregation of user's inform
 ation by a steadily decreasing number of entities as unrelated Web sites
  are browsed. I will present results from several studies on leakage of 
 personally identifiable information (PII) via Online Social Networks and 
 popular non-OSN sites. Linkage of information gleaned from different sour
 ces presents a challenging problem to technologists\, privacy advocates\,
  government agencies\, and the multi-billion dollar online advertising in
 dustry. Economics might hold the key in increasing transparency of the la
 rgely hidden exchange of data in return for access of so-called free serv
 ices. I will\nalso talk briefly about doing privacy research at scale.
