Title: Is data in the cloud secure?
description: Have you ever wondered if the data in the cloud is safe? Surely everyone has thought about it at least once. Malicious activities of hackers have intensified in recent years. The number of data frauds is constantly growing every day. What does cloud computing allow?
Cloud computing allows companies to rent servers in the same way they rent office space. Each cloud server has a unique IP address that allows users to connect and send data.
User devices transmit sensitive information including GPS location, browsing history, and even financial data.
What do hackers say? Cyber criminals can take advantage of this via the cloud by hijacking IP addresses to receive traffic destined for other companies. Once the cybercriminal gets the address, he can continue to receive the data until the organization finds out and fixes the problem. Unfortunately, the problems are repaired only after a long time, when the losses are already considerable. It is worth noting that anyone with access to a cloud account can collect the same data from vulnerable companies. Some time ago, quite an interesting survey was conducted. The survey found that half of smartphone users don't mind sharing their whereabouts via an app. Users should be aware that when they share their personal data with organizations, they are also dependent on the security practices of those organizations. In practice, however, it turns out that this is not always the case, it can be different.
