   Cloud computing has its place, in some situations at least, provided   
   it is only a _part_ of a larger ecosystem and _if_ there are disaster   
   recovery procedures in place for if it becomes unavailable.   
      
   It is not a method by which organisations can offload their responsibility   
   to run secure and highly available computing services.   
      
   BTW, in terms of new types of attacks, I am just waiting to see how long   
   it takes for the current US administration to realise they can force   
   compliance in some other countries by issuing a threat to disable the   
   US-based computing infrastructure those other countries use unless they   
   comply with US demands.   
      
   For example, do any of the current South American countries which are   
   currently a US target have a US-based cloud infrastructure ?   
      
   Given the way other countries have capitulated recently after initially   
   standing up to the US, I suspect there are now people within the US   
   administration emboldened enough to think they could actually get away   
   with that. :-(
