Major compromise of security results from use of Gmail account by employee
Posted on Monday, 17 September 2007 @ 21:48:05 EDT
Contributed by cdupuis | Topic: Law & Legalities

I am forwarding an important article highlighting the security implications of employees reflecting business e-mail to a Web-based e-mail account:

http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9036938&source=NLT_PM&nlid=8

In this case, an employee of MediaDefender, Inc., a company specializing in assisting movie studios and recording companies in preventing illegal copying of their copyrighted materials online, forwarded highly sensitive corporate e-mail to his Google e-mail account. A group that opposes MediaDefender’s activities hacked the Gmail account (most likely because of simple password on the account) and made nearly 6,000 of MediaDefender’s e-mail available to the public. This should serve as a reminder to have clear policies with employees regarding the forwarding of business e-mail to Gmail and other types of personal accounts that could seriously compromise corporate security.
