You are never safe enough, anyway!
On the other hand, it’s good to know that there would be a plenty of tools on the black market that would
cope with the capacity to provide the access to your account and offer some tracking abilities even if you
are using the standards email encryption. It’s quite simple to confirm if any email account exists and once
you obtain so you can ask your hacking tool to share such a password with you. This would appear as
the piece of cake, right? Mainly, the point is you would never get safe enough in the cyberspace and as
we are getting the new and new generations of the products and services – we should always get in mind
how to manage the risk being correlated with their usages.
The need for a better access control
The experience would show that the hackers would so easily track anyone’s email account relying on the
professional tools. On the other hand, some of them would go that far away to make a breach to the
email account and cause some changes there. That’s the huge disadvantage which could produce the
significant unrest within the both – private and public sector. So, that’s why so many IT security experts
would appeal to the decision makers to take into account somehow better access control to the email
environment. Some steps in such a sense would get made, but there is the need to more effort that
should get invested into safe and convenient user’s experience.
Your account seeks the smart privileges management
It would be wonderful if we could mitigate the risk fully and totally, but unluckily – that’s not possible. The
history would suggest that the risks, threats and challenges would always be present, so what we can do
at this stage is only the smart privileges management. The future is not much more promising about the
world where we live and work, so someone dealing with so high expectations that tomorrow would be
easier than today could sound as quite overhopeful. The people would choose to dream about the better
days and so many of them could return to the past believing that life then got more beautiful than
nowadays. Probably because of the lack of inspiration and sometimes creativity – we would believe that
the models from the past could be the perfect solutions for the tomorrow. In total, technological boom
would defiantly teach us that our planet is not the same place any longer and maybe some ideas from
the past would get recognized today, but the conditions have changed so dramatically and if we do not
think in a bit more progressive manner – we would make the trap to ourselves only!
The concluding notes
We would start this effort with the story about the old, good habits and conclude it in so serious fashion.
The fact is the cyberspace is our past, present and it would look like from this perspective – probably the
future. Some mindful people would believe that we should so deeply understand our past if we want to
create the future being the good to everyone. Maybe this claim would cope with some sadness in the air
and possibly some pragmatics would suggest that we are getting a bit pathetic thinking like so, but the
