The other day, I heard about an individual whose company email account was not functioning. There had been some problems with her account. Instead of getting it fixed by contacting IT and helpdesk , she started using her personal email id on gmail for business communications. Important and confidential information regarding the product she works on , code snippets, developer discussions are all a part of google data centers now.
What bothers me is that this is not an one off isolated case. There are probably countless other instances where people are sending out sensitive business information over 3rd party public email severs.
It's probably a matter of time before someone comes up with a proposal for harvesting and profiting from sensitive data on email data centers.
