After the occupation of the country, the Taliban again looked at the email accounts of the officials and employees of the previous Afghan government. The jihadists are trying to get various secret information of Ashraf Ghani government by manipulating those accounts. Google quickly shut down the email accounts of several government employees and officials in Afghanistan. According to company sources, the accounts have been closed due to suspicious activity.
Alphabet Inc's Google (GOOGL.O) said on Friday it was monitoring the situation in Afghanistan. The accounts have been closed for the time being to protect Afghanistan's confidential information. An Afghan government official said the Taliban sent information to their office shortly after the capture of Kabul. The jihadists also want to grab information by looking at the emails of many.
The official feared that if he had passed the information to the militants, much of the previous government's intelligence would have fallen into the hands of the Taliban. This would have disrupted security not only in Afghanistan but also in other countries. For security reasons, the name of the officer and the office of the Afghan government where he worked have been kept secret by Reuters.
