Hi H-Man; Ins, med & financial companies have been storing/retrieving our client info on the internet for years now. And, if you think about who has access to records, it's accessible across any given company's "private cloud." For example: Clinic/Hospital <-> Insurance Co or Bank <-> US Gummint. And that's on a good day. Throw in black-hat hackers, take two aspirin and roll the dice. -- -Craig

Add one hacker to the companies payroll, inside, direct access to the information he or she seeks. -- The bear went over the mountain to see what he could see. Hey!

It's about WHO has - or might have - access and control of the data that flows and is stored in a commercial cloud. For all you know the cloud you use might be a front company run by the FBI, or the FBI may get a court order to gain access to your data without your knowledge.

Frankly, I don't give two shits about the FBI. Or any other law enforcement agency. Reality is, the people who could most affect my life are criminals who could nick my, and my clients data, passwords, IPR... whatever. Bottom line is, there are a lot of totally bent techies out there, fed by a lot of criminals, also a lot of totally incompetent techies out there, and a lot of companies who don't have proper controls on what's really going on. -- zakAT(a)pooh.the.cat - Sergeant Tech-Com, DN38416.
