I’ve always heard that the safest place to store sensitive and personal data is on a personal machine, and with password protection and encryption technology. The Internet is almost completely unprotected and having our data stored there is an outrage and almost insulting. While it would seem FaceBook and MySpace would care about their users, I guess not enough to allot us some storage space on their massive servers. I hate to risk having my information public and unsecured online. Not only is it insulting, it is risky! These online servers are often not so safe, and like the article says, it’s not like these guys who encode the servers are getting paid that much, so their motivation and attachment levels are going to be pretty low. My Internet knowledgable friends showed me how useful an anonymous proxy can be, and how it can encrypt your data so that the cloud computers cant screw everything up for you.
