Amidst the various news items this past week, one stood out among the rest - the safety of the cloud space for personal information. The Apple iCloud was hacked and personal information disseminated across the internet. If Apple's iCloud is susceptible to a massive hack, what are the risks for other cloud spaces? As a recent Med City News article pointed out, this happened at the worst possible time for the cloud giant, as they are in the process of promoting the HealthKit data platform, which will contain user data accessible across a variety of applications.
