Email encryption gmail in firefox
Many delicious and different services that are increasingly gathering information about users: their hobbies, contact lists, business activity, friends lists, the flow of funds, all about business. Sometimes the same- Gmail may know more about the man than the man himself, I'm sorry for the tautology. Of course we think we have nothing to hide, all the honest people, true when the information collected includes thousands of people are already starting to wonder.

Assume there is an organization that employs several people and used for correspondence Google Apps, connected to the corporate domain. Documents, passwords, birthdays, calendar, history of communication through the Google Talk, history of search queries, all the activities of the plankton, almost any action is stored in the depths of the Google. Why Google so actively promoted? He just knows how to predict events, using people as computing power and information source. Well Google - we have already resigned, in the Russian underground rather widespread hacking of electronic boxes competitors, literally 10 bucks, I can break any box in a zone .ru. I have many times experienced that kind of a solid organization of a factory electronic boxes in the free zones svetochka.ufzt [dot] mail.ru (a fictional address) and password - the day of birth. And yet somehow massively forgot encryption of e-mails, about the electronic signature. Even in government generally deplorable state, all overgrown with computers with viruses, and e-mail used for mailings gos.struktur Trojans and spam, registration and classmates in touch, there is on these boxes come and update the database and copies of orders and documents that n. If hacked like a box on the organization can find out almost everything and a pack of security guards does not help, because mail is not encrypted and is left unprotected.
