雅虎公司说到明年时它将联合谷歌公司推出一款防间谍电子邮件系统,从而使得黑客或政府官员读到用户的信息(华尔街日报评论)。
这次的举动来源于大的技术公司联合起来加强它们的防御系统以阻止政府的侵入或者黑客的侵入,特别是当爱德华斯诺登去年揭露国家安全局大量的监视项目。
就在斯诺登揭发间谍机构非法入侵他们的海外的连接项目以后,谷歌,微软,以及Facebook行动起来将内部的业务加密。这些公司的小的调整都会使政府全面收集信息的行动变得更加困难。
Yahoo已经更改了它的电子邮件的过程,所以用户可以在一个独立的窗口采用加密特征的信息,当这些信息被打印出来的时候阻止其他人甚至是yahoo自己阅读这些信息,华尔街日报说道。(欲了解更多信息,请关注中国进出口网:www.Chinainout.com)
Yahoo Inc said it will join Google Inc to create a secure email system by next year that could make it nearly impossible for hackers or government officials to read users' messages, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The move comes as large technology companies unite to beef up their defenses against government intrusion and hacking, most notably after Edward Snowden exposed last year the National Security Agency's mass surveillance programs.
Google, Microsoft and Facebook Inc moved to encrypt internal traffic after revelations by Snowden that the spy agency hacked into their connections overseas. The companies have also smaller adjustments that together make sweeping collection more difficult.
Yahoo has altered its email process so users adopting encryption type messages in a separate window, preventing even Yahoo from reading the messages as they are typed, the Journal said.
