ABSTRACT
There is no doubt that the Internet has changed how we live
our lives. Shopping, watching videos, writing a diary – so
much of our data that was localized is now stored in the
‘cloud’. We easily give information (such as birthdays and
credit card numbers) and take information (such as forwarded
links or search results) without much regard for where and
how exactly that data is stored, and how secure it is.
In Stephen King’s novella The Mist, a mysterious fog blankets
a town and wreaks havoc. Because the cloud is already
integrated into so many parts of our online experience, its
safety is vital to our security; otherwise havoc might ensue for
us as well.
This paper will discuss the potential security risks of storing
information in the cloud with respect to malware. It will
explore whether malware can infi ltrate the cloud, what effects
it can have, and what we can do to fi ght it. It will also delve
into social engineering techniques that have evolved only with
the introduction of cloud technology. It will also look into the
ethical ramifi cations of cloud computing – who is ultimately
responsible for maintaining a secure environment when
ownership of data is no longer traditional?
