Users see it as a magic solution to simplify their online lives.I see it as nothing but a way to add a single point of failure to my online security.[/citation]
Where do you think this data was before? On your own machine? Its always been on a remote server aka 'the cloud' in popular parlance. An actual 'cloud' is when a company runs a server farm and rents our space / bandwidth on virtual machines. This is not a new idea but for some reason people seem to think it is and that it is a bad thing.

Yeah sure, after leaking people's identity online you expect people to forgive you to after a simple, one-liner?

If I was affected I would be calling him an arsehat, not a whitehat.
