Despite of all the precautions, needs to be clear – data transmission online always contains a certain level of security risks. Information packages traveling from the sender to the recipient via Internet pass several intermediate switching nodes (computers). The level of the access to these gateways is governed by their owners. The use of such technical solutions therefore excludes the absolute protection of the forwarded information packages from the access by the third party.
