Privacy and security are something we expect from an email application. Microsoft's Outlook.com application neglects to convey either, as per well-known security consulting firm Include Security. The Outlook.com application is intended to permit users get to their free email. It provides for you the feel of security (email encryption), in spite of the fact, that really there is no such thing to it. Research staff at Include Security discovered some glaring security problems when they figured out the application.

As per the Include Security team, the Outlook setting in the application is such that the emails and attachments are stored in the android file system, without any sort of encryption done to secure it. This is a real Outlook setting problem that emails should be safe and secure. This security imperfection could be effectively exploited by outsider application-developers, with pernicious intentions. They would have the capacity to get to the body text and even the attachments. Since the email attachments are naturally saved to the "SD card" as a matter of course, they can without much of a stretch be gotten to by anybody having physical access to the cell phone powered by android.

There is a PIN assurance feature set up. In any case, the research faculty at Include Security affirms that this feature is joined just to square get to the Outlook.com application's Graphic User Interface (GUI). The attachments and emails are exactly as powerless as without this security. The security is weak to the point that once the data base file has by one means or another been gotten to, the substance of the file can without much of a stretch be concentrated.

The security team at incorporate security proposes android users to verify that the "USB debugging" feature of their android powered cell phone (PDAs, phablets or tablets) be impaired. An alternate proposal is to actualize full disk encryption. Changing the email attachments folder stored in the device encourages also to improve security.

Despite the fact that these recommendations might be helpful, users would love to have the security features made accessible naturally. It is truly a disadvantage for users to roll out such improvements, when the company ought to have given these settings in any case.

Software producer Microsoft Corporation reacted absolutely to the discoveries. They guaranteed that the company is focused on ensuring the privacy and security of the personal information users store on their devices. The company proposed that users of the Android application configure the obliged settings in their cellular phone device, to encode their emails or attachments.
