Around search service Yandex, a new scandal erupted. A couple of weeks ago in search results Yandex has detected files user Google Docs (Google Documents), and have now become available personal data of users of services for the purchase of tickets, a couple of banks and the Department of transport.
In search of Yandex it is possible to get other people’s scans of passports, tickets and receipts of banks. The issue drew the attention of Pavel Medvedev, an expert on working with the search engines. He found that through Yandex you can get personal information from the websites of Sberbank and VTB, an aggregator of tickets Trip.com and the Department of transport.
As insisted by the representatives of Yandex, the search engine indexes only the unprotected data in a special way. To protect them properly is the responsibility of the administration of the sites and web developers.
Medvedev also notes that “the merged Yandex” and “Yandex guilty” is an incorrect interpretation of the problem, the main fault lies with the owners of the sites. In Google too, the situation is similar — when you enter the modified query to obtain personal information.
