Debt collectors mining your secrets

摘要

A couple of weeks ago in Gearhead I became engrossed exploring Google Docs and reader Stuart Douglas from Cleveland, responded:"! have to agree that Google Docs is pretty cool, and very handy but the thing I keep coming back to is trust. Can I really trust that my data is only mine when it's stored outside my jurisdiction? For the time being, nothing too sensitive gets stored there." Douglas is probably pretty wise to use Google Docs with caution as it is one thing for Google to claim it does no evil and quite another for it to commit to keeping your secrets. When information lives in the cloud, no matter who owns the cloud, it is hard to commit to maintaining privacy But there are now so many sources of data, both public and private, managed by so many organizations, that all of our private details are up for grabs.
