Hi ya'll. I wrote this because it is a topic that really interests me. I put the first portion of the post here and a link to the rest of the post because the article is formatted best at its homepage.

How Google and the NSA May Steal From Joe

A major opportunity for criminal behavior exists in current Cloud Storage practices. Today I will be picking on Google, as they are the biggest player in the Cloud Storage and Online Software arena. Current practices open up the opportunity for major theft against individual people by corporate giants and government security agencies.

The immediate next sentence describes the risky situation in clear detail.

Documents of Cloud Storage users are regularly “looked over” for marketing (i.e. in the case of Google Mail) and security concerns (i.e. in the process of the facilitation of judicial investigation and/or domestic spying). This “looking over” is done by research investigators among Google employees and from among persons acting on the government’s behalf........

These investigators gain the opportunity to snoop into documents produced by Google users. This type of invasion into the user’s privacy is conceivably resulting in “interesting things” from user documents being forwarded to the Boss, enabling Google or Governmental research agents to steal things like the format for how people design their documents and then take that knowledge into application, production, and “innovate” in their program suites thanks to this unpaid for, undercover crowd-sourced development of their applications and innovations.

It is abundantly clear that Cloud Storage providers are sitting on treasure troves of information that is of huge financial value to the company, and the invasion of user privacy that is permitted under today’s legal environment opens-wide the opportunity for companies to grow rich on crowd-sourced ideas without attribution nor payment to their users whom they discretely rob intellectual property from through the legal investigation of the documents created in their Cloud Storage solution and Google Docs.

Many users are fearful of opening up and freely producing in the clou.........

Ok lemme know what you think! I really like using my cloud storage!

I believe Google has a lot to lose if it is found out that they are raiding the contents of cloud storage.

I also think there are legitimate security reasons why it might be wise to make sure cloud services and e-mails aren't used as a secure method of communication for terrorists, pedophiles and other unpleasant individuals.

Having said that, if you do have something which you want kept confidential, it's probably sensible not to store it on the cloud.

Is it really cloud storage if its basically just a server?

I mean a real "true" cloud uses compute power to run things server side and give them to you client side, like word processor programs for example.

Either way, yeah a personal server and easily accessed online storage you run yourself is safe as long as you secure it properly and assume that if the NSA wanted any of it that they couldn't just get it anyway.

Also your WD cloud device might be weak to the BASH shellshock vulnerability and as a result people could run remote code on it and BOOM your info is in their hands.

Of course this is assuming that BASH is called on due to its already installed apps which the google search seems to be unclear on. Some are, some aren't, and for all I know you are running some custom stuff on it and if it calls on BASH code then you are less safe than you are with google :D

I read this as "I'm going to own Cloud".
