Apples iCloud has been under attack recently by
hackers with different incidents going all the
way back to January of this year.

The more recent ones, were a series of threats
that made the news in late March. This raises the
question of just how secure Cloud-based storage
really is and whether uploading all of your data
to the Cloud is truly safe.

Heres what you need to know1. Apples iCloud
was hacked because of hackers aggressively using
different methods to discover user names and
passwords. For those iCloud users with strong
passwords, their data was not hacked.

2. Apple was hacked, not the Cloud. Some media
outlets made it sound like the Cloud itself
was being hacked. This was not the case and it
was only Apples iCloud service.

3. The Cloud is pretty much secure and safe, so
long as users take steps to protect their data
just like they do to protect the data on their
desktop, laptop, network servers, and smartphone
or tablet devices.

Even though hackers are constantly attempting to
access individual Cloud-based services, like
iCloud, they may not even realize that out of all
the data around the world, businesses and people
are currently only storing about 10 of it in the
Cloud.

8
Why? Because there is just certain types of data
businesses and people are not comfortable with
uploading to the Cloud.

This includes addresses, phone numbers, credit
card and bank account numbers, privileged data
(i.e. doctor/patient, lawyer/client, etc.), and
more.

For instance, banks and financial institutions
are big on not using the Cloud for data storage
since much of their data contains personal
information, account numbers,

monetary balances, and so on. Rather, they store
their data on network services, backup tape
drives, and other such media.

12
Still, what some of you may not be aware of, is
many of the bigger data breaches that have
occurred over the past five years or so at big
companies like Sony and Target were attacks on
their own internal databases, not Cloud-based
data storage.

13
Essentially, in todays society data stored
internally or in the Cloud are equally at risk by
hackers.

14
This is why individuals and businesses need to
make sure to safeguard their data by implementing
proper data encryption methods, strong passwords,
and utilize two-factor authentication processes.

15
No matter where you data is stored, internally or
in the Cloud, it also needs to be backed up in
the event of a system failure. Otherwise you
could potentially lose all of your data.

16
Fortunately, whether you are a data center data
storage provider, business, or individual, with a
hard drive, or data drive failure, all may not be
lost.
