Sorry but this is simply not true... unless you are talking about Joe Smoe's cloud storage. Any of the big companies maintain multiple serious credentials from 3rd party testing facilities. Do you think multiple government organizations would be using cloud if it was unsecure?
I'm sure you don't believe what I've said so to head off absurd back and forth, provide some credible proof to support what you've said in the above quote. If you want to see the credentials, those are readily available by the big cloud vendors. All you have to do is look.
"If a man designed it, a man can defeat it. First rule of data (and most other types of) security."
All I said was (imo) not a fan of it, because the "potential" is there for server hacking (particularly at places like Facebook, with their stellar record of user data security?), so I prefer to do my own backups using my own methodology.
There are many scholarly articles out there about the level of security of some cloud storage providers versus others. Avail thyself of internet search functionality.
Governments don't do things that make sense, and they probably manage their own cloud servers, so they don't count.
"absurd back and forth"?
Well, you started it, bucko. :C
