14 DAY TRIAL // We don't have to remind you just how often Google announces a new service, because this is a well known fact. The field of interest and addressability of the services launched by the online search giant have increased exponentially over the past few years, but this doesn't necessarily mean that we should be very glad about it.
Seeing that it's not such a hot idea to keep a huge quantity of information in the same source, the security experts are beginning to dislike this whole situation, even if we're talking about a major name, Google.
Following the launch of its e-mail service, Google has focused on its blogging solution, and with the launch of the digital library's final version, as well as that of a new online payments service, the level of concern regarding the possible security breaches is beginning to increase.
Chris Hoofnagle, a senior advisor within Electronic Privacy Information Center, declares that Google is about to become one of the greatest time bombs in the history of online data security and protection. Hoofnagle doesn't believe that Google has managed to discover the formula for completely removing all the possible threats, while releasing as many services as possible.
Obviously, Google's officials have stated that all the aspects regarding the launch of a new service are carefully analyzed by the company's experts, from the design problems to the issues regarding the removal of all possible bugs from a system. The problem of respecting and assuring the users' privacy is very carefully taken into consideration by all the employees, not just by Google's lawyers.
