Take Charge of Your Email Backup Security

Recently some people have used a Gmail backup software known as G-Archiver to backup their email and save to a portable disk. But in fact it has turned out that G-Archiver is malicious ruse set by hackers. After it is installed, G-Archiver hides a backdoor program that will automatically transmit the user's Gmail account number and password to the hackers, allowing them to enter the user's Gmail. And because of Google Apps services, a hacker possessing a stolen account number and password can access a wide range of services and documents, exposed users in danger. When this type of malicious software steals the e-mail account information of an inattentive employee of a company using Google Apps, all of the company's data and secrets will be vulnerable to the hackers.

According to Cellopoint's technical consultants, that more and more companies are considering adopting outsourced service models in keeping with the growing popularity of software as a service (SaaS). But these companies should make sure to take information security into consideration: Many well-known SaaS providers have had data leaks. For instance, employees at SalesForce have opened e-mail containing trojan horse viruses, leading to the theft of customer data. Everyone should be careful to prevent this kind of incident.
