I’m not blaming the cloud directly. That would be like trying to blame my car. The cloud is susceptible to people who get off on stealing other peoples’ personal data.

Better. The cloud is a tool. You keep tools sharp and clean, and in good shape. Then you use them properly. That means hard passwords and very difficult security questions. Checkout this thread on an article from The Guardian Australia:

Round and round we go. Suffice it to say I don’t have any cloud account (Skydrive, iDrive, etc.) and never will. Too many bad guys looking to steal your stuff.

It is my opinion that the cloud is inherently unsafe and I won’t use it for anything. One less thing to think/worry about.
