Yeah, great news for me I was part of the Optus breach. Also two of the companies that have my info are also in this breach, one was my old employer the other my current one. Still no news from either if I'm effected

I'll pray that your data is safe!

Yep "the cloud".....

[Bigguy]

The cloud is nothing really but a datacenter if I'm not mistaken.

[Skhilled]

Yup, it "supposedly" a collection of servers and/or data centers.

[Bigguy]

Yeah, well, that's no different than what we have been usin for....well since the internet, lol. Just a new marketing gimmick. I wonder what they will call it next, lol.

[Skhilled]

That's what I've been thinking although I've read that (at least some) are a cluster of servers. However, I'm sure some hosting are just saying they have cloud servers to get customers.

Basically, as I said from the first time I heard about 'The Cloud' years ago, is that it's just someone elses hard drives and they charge people to store their files on them.

It just a money making thing, and the worst thing about it and the likes of Office 365 if your internet goes down you have access to nothing.
