[citation][nom]house70[/nom]I don't get it why the article keeps poking at Google here and there, as if somehow they were connected to the big Sony flop. Let it be clear, Sony f...d up, not Google. If the op has a beef with cloud computing, he should include others; both MS and Apple have cloudy plans.Not that I am defending cloud computing, I actually feel very uncomfortable with the whole idea; but keep pointing the finger at Sony, whose criminal negligence allowed all this to happen, and don't try to mix in other companies that have not screwed up so royally... yet.And, really, this is not even about cloud computing; Sony elected to save the CC data and, even worse, to save it in an unsecured way. Nothing related to cloud here, just gross negligence and they need to pay the price for that. But, hey, nothing will happen to them, and nothing will change, and in a couple of months we will hear of yet another "loss" of data from some corporation that was supposed to safeguard it.As far as the CC info, the more the thieves wait, the more secure Sony and the customers feel. Even if only 5% of the CC info will be still valid after a few months, the data will still be worth millions. This was an inside job in connection with some real professionals. Just like the vast majority of breaches are inside jobs.[/citation]
It has ALL to do with Cloud Computing, I mean, after all it is the exact same way things will work in cloud computing... what is it you say? Big companies "keeping" your information instead of keeping it yourself. companies that are supposed to keep it safely, and that were supposedly keeping it in the right way, because as this article stated; if it wasn't for the attack no one would know how hack-able our information is in hands of supposedly responsible company. So, as you should know, NO system on earth (at all) is fail-proof, NONE, and then we will wind up knowing it is a matter of time until the company that keeps your info gets hacked. And sorry if this reply is rude or something but i really don't mean it, I only try to speak clearly.
