Security and the web: you still need to think
Filed in archive Web 2.0 by S.M. Schrama on March 11, 2008

With all the applications going online, security becomes a more important topic. These days, the Googles and facebooks are carriers of our data - and what are they doing to secure our data?
Google says in its policy that the company will handover information on customers when asked for by government officials. That's reasonable, in my opinion.
. Lots of people started using the service without actualy knowing what they were getting into. They believed that archiving gmail to your local harddisk is handy - without thinking about what could possibly happen with your data. The app required entry of your username and password, and that is pretty dumb to do. And this is my point: The security of your data is partly your own responsibility. Think about what you do, and what programs you use. You can't know everything, but you can be careful.
