It has not been a good year for the cloud. http://technolog.msnbc.msn.com/_new...ons-cloud-crash-destroyed-many-customers-data http://www.joystiq.com/2011/04/27/psn-breach-what-it-means-for-you-and-for-sony/ http://readwriteweb.com/cloud/2010/09/googles-internal-security-brea.php http://www.cloudiquity.com/2010/12/gawker-news-sites-cloud-security-breach/ http://www.esecurityplanet.com/head...-Breach-Hits-Microsoft-BPOS-Cloud-Service.htm There's an "I told you so" in there somewhere.
I don't think anybody is really surprised by this. The web has grown exponentially over the past decade, with more and more of our daily activities taking place on it. The cloud is still in its infancy. This sort of thing will be commonplace for a while until the system becomes robust enough.
There's not an "I told you so" anywhere. Surprise! Computers aren't secure: desktop, notebook or "cloud". Make sure to only use actual credit cards online, check your statements regularly and you'll be find.

(1 year ago: ) http://www.tweak3d.net/forums/showt...sing/page5&highlight=cloud computing security If we can't put what we want on our computers out of fears of insecurity, why have them?
amazon and sony are tied together, so if one falls it takes the other down too. (qriocity) fuck em. and fuck drm/mpaa/riaa.
I guess you could say that those who promote Distributed Computing are suffering from clouded judgement? HAHAHAHAHAHAHaHaHaHaHahahaha. . . . ha. Okay, I guess it wasn't that funny... Rather than Cloud Computing itself, I'm disturbed by how everything is being locked into single points of failure that are well outside our control, even though most of that stuff doesn't NEED to be tied those external points of failure, all for the sake of "DRM" whose sole purpose is to turn us all to piracy out of disgust with the "legitimate" purchases that we leap through hurdles to get to work... when we DO get them to work...
Not looking too good for the cloud unless something drastic changes to get three steps ahead of the hackerz. What's more, the way the internet is jammed up with malware, spam and acams, is not looking good for the information age. A person could make some serious Bill Gates bank if they could come up with a unbreakable workable security device that would put an end to the shennanigans once and for all.
