6271 - The cloud


We got another letter Saturday from the cloud. Your information was exposed. This time it was Ticketmaster. I think this is around the fifth time in a couple of years that the "cloud" has been hacked. It's usually a contracted cloud company, not the company you've trusted with your data. 

I thought everything in the cloud was encrypted. Apparently not.

Sigh.

Letters like that usually go straight to my spam folder which I check daily in case real people get sent there by mistake.

At the rate they're building "data centers" here in NoVa, when I get notices like this, I'll be able to go and visit my data personally to make sure it's safe.

Oy vey, Ticketmaster - that's as bad as they get, too.
Frustrating.
Hope that's resolved soon.

Keep your chin up over there.

Nothing is safe.

Sue - Yep.

River - Not an email. A real US postal letter.

Bill - They'll probably have your data on a marque outside the front door.

Kathy - Is that a little blob of spit for the data scum balls.

Robyn - The only resolve is calling the the big three and locking down your info.

Kirk - Not on the cloud for sure.

At least they got one name right.
Cloud. Claudia. Cloudiest.

The cloud is transparent.

I didn't trust the cloud before your post, and now I trust it even less.

Mike said...

Jenny - Less than less.

So far, so good. Ticketmaster would not have much luck with me.

Mike said...

Susan - I hope your luck holds out.
