Yes, the Cloud is Very Dangerous
Below is another example of how decisions are made without the decider knowing the full ramifications of their decisions. I wrote a blog post back in May 2019 on this site. In fact it was my first post on the site. The title of the blog was “The cloud is dangerous?”
Recently, secretary Pete Hegseth revealed that we were using a China based cloud service in our military! Who let this happen in the first place? There is so much about the cloud that most people do not know or understand, and if people are going to be put in position of making decisions about who hosts the data of the United States, they should have the background to understand the dangers of allowing China to host our data!
The revelation came after a ProPublica report highlighted that Microsoft employed engineers in China to maintain aspects of the Pentagon’s cloud system.
I hope that helps,
Jim
