Any IT manager adopting cloud infrastructure needs to get their head examined. Clearly, they don't give a rats about the serious security nightmares that the cloud entails. They've obviously fallen prey to the BS about data centralization, ease of access and scalability - all untested promises that are far riskier than first believed. I really think people have become so conditioned to new IT "trends" that they fail to grasp the enormous tradeoffs they are making with their own freedoms and the freedoms of others. Things are going to get worse and before one knows it, we will have next to no privacy left.
Working in IT makes me sick when I see how mindless and ignorant a lot of people are about the potential for technology to be used against us. It's not coming - it's here now.
