13:22 Documents google docs again lost privacy | |
| Who keep their passwords on the service Google Docs, may begin to worry, because there again there was a "data leakage", ie the private user files accidentally caught in a "partially open" access. Specifically, they were without the knowledge of the author are available for those users for whom the author or co-author already had opened other documents. Error occurs if the user selects a group of files and changed them for permissions. In this case, other text documents and presentations (but not spreadsheets) Third party access rights were changed. As reported, the bug affected less than 0,05% of the total number of files stored on servers. Developers have already identified and eliminated the error. All the victims were sent letters explaining the situation. To prevent the consequences of loss of privacy, Google has launched an automated process for closing access to all "partially rassharennye" files on all accounts, that it seemed to Google, postaradali from the bug. If your documents right of access to reset in error, then you need to install them again. These bugs - as balm for the soul of those users who are still afraid to store files on network services. Many people without any reason have a subconscious feeling that your home PC the data is more secure than by Google. This phobia before the network storage is akin to fear of flying on an airplane, although it is known, the plane - a much safer form of transport than the car. However, people with attention listening to the news on air crashes, because this information is completely correlated with their unconscious fears and the daily news stories about hundreds of deaths on the roads they do not pay any attention. Daily flow of the theft of laptops, personal computers and reading information from the old HDD is not able to convince the diehard paranoid, but this bug in Google Docs, they will remember for a long time and will recount all his friends, possibly for years to come. All a matter of psychology. Via TechCrunch | |
