How to Prevent Data Leakage from Lenovo?

12 November 2020 Jennifer Thatcher Technology Manager of Test Dept.

Summary
Internet and computer make our life convenient as well as troublesome, especially the problems of information security. Due to the weakness of security consciousness, we accidentally give open a gate to hackers who steal our files and attack our PCs with malware, the branded PC Lenovo included. In this essay, we will talk about how to prevent data leakage from Lenovo.

3. Summary

Part 1: Lenovo Spyware

Spyware is the program that monitors users’ information. In 2014, a Lenovo user found that a program called Lenovo Customer Feedback Program 64 could start by itself every day, and the program sent the data to the Lenovo services providers, such as Omniture and SiteCatalyast. Omniture is an online marketing and web analytics firm, and SiteCatalyst is their software as a service application for client-side web analytics. Therefore, we are being monitored and tracked while using the Lenovo computer. Most of Lenovo users are worried about this spyware, under the risk of data leakage.

Part 2: Lenovo Data Leakage

Event review: Lenovo LenovoEMC EZ Media and Backup（hm3）are the firmware of the network-attached storage devices that allow files to be stored and accessed over the network. Some LenovoEMC devices have bugs on the management interface where hackers can obtain sensitive device information.

Result: This problem is related to 5114 devices and 3030106 files, including 20000 documents, 13000 sheets, 13000 texts and 405000 images. Much sensitive information, like the bank account and the transaction records, are disclosed. That badly affects many Lenovo users and makes great threats to their information security.

Enlightenment: From the case of Lenovo data leakage, we’ve clearly known the importance of data protection. To protect our important files, it is necessary to encrypt them.

For Details

If Lenovo users use the security software (i.e. Renee File Protector and Renee SecureSilo) to encrypt the files, they can avoid data leakage.

Part 3: How to Protect Information Security?

In fact, data leakage is avoidable. We can encrypt the files to prevent data leakage, spyware or hacker intrusion.

Next, we will talk about two pieces of professional software and tell you how to ensure our information security by encrypting files.

1. Renee File Protector

Renee File Protector is one of the highly recommended software. Users can compress files to be “.gfl” and “.exe” for encryption.

Note: The “.gfl” file is safer than “.exe”. If the file is extremely important, we recommend “.gfl”. However, “.exe” is much widely accepted than “.gfl”. If your file is transferred to the other people, “.exe” is recommended. Next, we will show you how to use.

Different from compression software like RAR/ZIP/7ZIP, modifying data which is protected with Renee SecureSilo will not waste your time on decompression.
