This article is a little sketchy. No, the “cloud” doesn’t mean your data is stored on someone else’s computer. It means your data is broken up into thousands, or even millions, of “shards,” and each one of those shards is heavily encrypted and stored on someone else’s computer. The other options are actually storing your data on someone else’s computer in a server farm, or, still less safe for all but the biggest players, trying to store the data on your own server.
It is only the amount of data that makes it difficult to store securely. My Texas chili recipes are pretty safe.
And, scalability is not supposed to be a problem to SSD’s.
However, if it is access that creates the security issues (is that really you, John, at the door?), that is not a computing problem. It is a social problem.
this article’s sources are sh*t. you don’t have to get anywhere near worrying about what the cloud is or is not.
"SEAL team" I'm assuming they meant special forces as the writer doesn't know what types of military forces Sweden has.
