Is Using the Cloud Safe?

❤️ Is the cloud really dangerous, or is that just a lack of understanding? I'll break down what "the cloud" actually is, why it's no riskier than email or online banking, and the simple habits that keep your data safe no matter where it lives.

❤️ Safety in the cloud
The so-called “cloud” is new in name only; we’ve all been using online services for decades. They’re no more dangerous now than they were then, and quite likely less so. The only new thing is the number of services available. If we take responsibility for our own security, using the cloud — aka online services — can be safe and enrich our lives along the way.
