Laplink® Offers Solution to Users Affected by Security Breach of pcAnywhere®
23.05.12
Laplink Gold®, an alternative to pcAnywhere for over 20 years, is now available with substantial discounts to pcAnywhere customers.
BELLEVUE, Wash. (PRWEB) January 31, 2012
Laplink Software, Inc. today announced a special discount program available to pcAnywhere users, while reaffirming that Laplink Gold remains safe and secure. This comes following Symantec's recent announcement that major security leaks were found in pcAnywhere, which prompted Symantec™ to advise its customers to discontinue use of the product.
Symantec, a major security software developer, confirmed last week the existence of a fatal security breach in its pcAnywhere software stemming from a 2006 attack by the famed hacker group Anonymous.
For more than 20 years, Laplink Gold and pcAnywhere have offered similar, alternative solutions to users needing secure file transfer, remote access and control to their PCs from anywhere in the world. Because these products rely on the Internet and network connections for remote PCs to communicate, it is inevitable that they are susceptible to security attacks.
