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?

[HighT3chDad]

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.
