European Parliament will not use Microsoft Outlook apps due to “security issues”
Shortly after it launched on mobile devices, the European Parliament has blocked Microsoft Outlook from internal use. The Microsoft Outlook app, which arrived last week on Android and iOS, has been deemed insecure by the government’s information technology (IT) department. Why? Apparently, the apps share password information with Microsoft and emails are stored in a third-party cloud that the European Parliament does not have access to.
The European Parliament’s IT department, DG ITEC, had this to say in an email to employees:
Please do not install this application, and in case you have already done so for your EP corporate email, please uninstall it immediately and change your password.
