The Dutch court asked Google to submit Gmail user information
The Dutch court has just ordered Google to provide data related to a Gmail account used as a spy.
The request comes from a lawsuit filed by a company called iMerge, whereby Gmail alfaiscool2002@gmail.com account has been used to transfer spy information and violate privacy regulations. The reason iMerge filed a lawsuit was because it had previously requested Google to provide information but was rejected by the company.
The Dutch court has asked Google to provide the required data and iMerge, including a list of IP addresses used to access the Gmail account within 30 days. Google must also hand in the date and IP address of this Gmail account, along with the secondary name and e-mail address of the person who created the account.
iMerge also requires a list of all IP addresses that the mail from the above mailbox sends, but the court has denied and said that it would violate the privacy of the third party.
iMerge has discovered that its e-mail server has been changed, allowing it to secretly forward (forward) e-mails sent to the board of directors to a fixed Gmail address. The company also said that by analyzing the log file, it was found that the Gmail account was accessed from the iMerge network and from a disgruntled partner. In addition to disclosing business information, users of this e-mail also obtain personal information about the directors' private lives.
IMerge's advisor Mark Meijer said it's easy to create anonymous e-mail addresses and use personal information to harm people. 'Companies like Google are only willing to cooperate when they face the law even though we have enough evidence to show that people have committed illegal actions.'
And the Google spokesperson in the Netherlands, Allister Verney, stated that the company never handed in user data to anyone without a court order. 'Even if there is a court order, we must limit the delivery of data. But if the court forced it, we would have no choice but to submit the data. '
