Η Microsoft recently managed to arrest a former employee who had previously leaked copies of Windows 7 and 8 on the Internet, but according to court documents, the company was able to identify the leaker when they "read" the messages from his account Hotmail's. Of course this was done without a court decision.
The company claims that it is perfectly legitimate to check the Hotmail or Outlook.com accounts without first getting a court license because what it actually does is that it scans its own servers to get information about a particular case. Did anyone talk about the privacy of our privacy?
Microsoft vice president and chief executive officer Frank Shaw mentioned in one statement that the company can look at its users' accounts for specific information, but it does not, in order to give its users the security of privacy.
Remember that Microsoft with the Scroogled campaign excuses Google because it reads Gmail's messages. This particular Microsoft campaign is something that reminds us of the politicians of Greece. We are not committed to new proposals by doing exactly the opposite, with responsibility, but we blame the rival company for continually pointing out what bad is doing.
Such news should constantly remind us that it does not exist Internet safety. Each company, citing the fact that the data are stored on its own servers, has the “right” to use them as she wants.
Really how many of you have sent emails with confidential messages, or private photos?
