Every ones favourite: CLOUD COMPUTING!!!!!! Letz check how SAFE is it.

An issue with cloud computing services is that, despite the numerous protections built in to a cloud service itself, any account is only as secure as the password used to access it. A recent example of consequences of insecure password was seen. A micro-blogging service had their online accounts accessed by hacker and numerous sensitive corporate corporate documents stolen. The documents were housed in a search engine's company's online web office service. Although that company was not to blame for the brake-in, the hack may not have ever occurred in the first place if the documents were hosted securely on-site, behind the firewall. Instead, the entire company data was only one password crack away from discovery. The details of this issue are highly technical, but fascinating, and the end result is that the very nature of virtual computing itself makes hacking simpler because it allows attackers to more easily guess the numbers used to generate the encryption keys.
NOTE: Here I assumed that the reader knows about cloud computing and micro-blogging if not just google it or search o Wikipedia, or i will choose it as a next topic of discussion. Suggestions are most welcome.
Thank you!
