- How Google Drive is vulnerable to hackers
- Some security experts don’t like the idea that Google keeps encryption keys for all files on Google Drive. Encryption keys are tools that allow Google (or anyone with the keys) to decrypt files, Bypassing all security procedures. “Because Google controls these encryption keys, This can create weaknesses for its users. Monica Eaton Cardoni said, Chief Operating Officer officer at Chargebacks911 Your files belong to government entities, At Google’s discretion, You may not require a security breach to obtain your privacy. “As with cloud services, The most important risks are not related to the encryption infrastructure, But with the basic structure of encryption. For users, Google Drive has many user-related vulnerabilities.
- Google does not drive to a coherent permission system, for example. Nick Santora said, CEO of Curricula, “The way Dropbox uses folders allows us to divide data by section and allow only employees in this section to access those folders.” Google makes this very difficult. The access permission system is simple and non-customizable, This may lead to errors when permissions are granted. “How to protect yourself as a Google Drive user yourself is often the greatest risk to Google Drive data – and the computer or device you connect to Google while driving. You can take advantage of dual authentication to prevent hackers from accessing your files from other devices, Even if they get your username and password. Of course, Make sure you have a strong password. It’s important to delete any browser apps or extensions that can access Google Drive unnecessarily. Each app that has access to Google Drive is a carrier and another vulnerability for security hackers.
