10:33 Google updated the internal politics of the security company to work with private information | |
Perhaps the title is registered somewhat vague, but the point here that's what - the corporation Google, after the famous incident with the collection of passwords / logins / other user data car project Google Street, decided to reduce to zero the possibility of a similar situation. It is clear that even for such a large company (more so for such a large) collection of personal data or of unsuspecting users, even casual - a blow to their own "karma". Indeed, many rank as Google's "good" companies, contrasting it with Microsoft, and similar cases make the distinction between the notorious "good and evil corporations" more subtle. So, Google updated the security rules inside the company, obliging its employees to stop the root any practices that might cause a repetition of the incidents described here. There will even be trained for 23 thousand workers of a company where new rules of work will show the professional coaches. Corporation, except for updating the security policy also introduces a procedure with more than before, the number of inspections that are at least a partial guarantee that someone else's data can not be used by Google employees or by accident, nor, moreover, deliberately. And again, as an example of such a situation, computer security experts cited the case of an engineer with Google, which creates the very same ill-fated program that collects data from publicly available wireless networks. Whether management of the engineer is notified about the operating principles of such software, according to Google, in its current form such a program would never have been allowed to work. And so, for two years, Google car drove to different cities in different countries, freely Collecting other people's data. It is worth recalling that earlier in the Google argued that these figures include only the network ID and MAC address, but actually found that there is, and passwords / logins belonging to either of the unsuspecting users. Results were collected, according to new data, about 600 gigabytes of its kind. This is the approximate amount of information from a major academic library. Data was collected from users for more than 20 countries, including Austria, Denmark, Hong Kong, USA and others. Now assembled an array of information pertaining to Austria, Denmark and Hong Kong have already cleared of user data that has been permanently deleted (according to the guidelines Google). But here's the data from other countries still stored on the servers of the corporation, since their analysis, we need considerable time. In general, now Google Inc. has undertaken a "re-education" of their employees, improving the rule of information security within the company. It is clear that the confidence of users - a critical factor for a company that is trying to make their own projects more and more social, gradually reducing everything to a common social platform. Well, look at how to improve the security policy will work in the future. Via Yahoo | |
