easy ways to bypass encryption in acpho / acronis cloud backups
The cloud settings are too powerful (should be more computer centric authority).. they allow you to bypass any encryption on backups... you can encrypt your current backup set, but if someone has access to the cloud account, they can configure a new backup remotely of your pc with encryption disabled. Worse... if a family member opens acronis on their pc, clicks on account, it logs them into the acronis web WITHOUT any password where they can then create a fresh, unencrypted remote backup of any other computer on the account. Thusly encryption is a joke between any computers on the same account even without a password. Slightly less concerning for anyone accessing the web login. Also the web console login is the same as the forum login.. aren't forum login passwords frequently hacked in the world of forums?
acpho shouldn't log you into web console without a password
forum passwords shouldn't be same as web console
users under same account shouldn't be able to create backups of other users's accounts
2fa would be nice
on pc, should be option to block web console creation of new backups if desired. Thus restricting web hackers from bypassing encrypted backups to create new unencrypted ones.
(sorry for my rushed style of writing... don't have time to cleanup .. hope it is clear enough as is.)
