    So, basically, you're depending on another company to host your valuable information? Yeah. No potential for problems there. Instead of fluffy clouds, how about a large building with hundred and hundreds of servers?

    You put your data in the hands of many companies every time you use the internet. Online banking for example, is an example of a type of cloud (heavily secured, obviously). Cloud providers are, in essence, large data centers with thousands of servers. But cloud providers offer management layers to make it a better, more cost effective experience.

    Cloud Computing Yields Cheap Hacking - from RedOrbit's site. College students broke in.

    It's nice that people in marketing have come up with the illusion of keeping proprietary data safe by using the image of a cloud, something waaay up above that no one can touch. When the reality is, hacker will do what hackers will do: Find a way in.

    Security breaches happen on cloud or traditional data centers, on single computers or via botnets. A stolen laptop is potentially more dangerous than anything else. And using a cloud is much like using a traditional data center. The security that you put into it is what you get out of it. With more attention being put on cloud, security gets better w/ cloud computing than traditional infrastructures.
