The dangers of “the cloud”

Thought that it would be worth bringing this to people’s attention – http://www.theage.com.au/digital-life/consumer-security/apple-cloud-burst-how-hacker-wiped-mats-life-20120806-23orv.html .

Storing stuff – photos, sighting records etc – online is incredibly convenient and makes it easy to share – but as this shows it is NOT foolproof and I would strongly advise anyone who goes down this path to make sure that they have their own backups of all such material!

    Clouds are where the cuckoos live, isn’t it?
