Comment on Military Wants to Put All Its Eggs in One Cloud

Stupidest Idea EVER! It is like those in charge want to fail. In college, I studied computers and programming in 1970. I have been a geek since before that word existed. The more developed technology becomes the easier it is to hack into or destroy. In 1970, you could not hack into a computer. Why? They were not connected to anything. Simple logic, if you do not have a port into the computer, it is impossible to hack in.

Allowing a device to control your computer is a recipe for disaster. Being honest, I do not hack anymore, but there was a time I did. If you have an access point, I can promise it can be hacked. Putting all your information on a single source makes it a high value target to hack. It guarantees everyone wants in and they will get in. The best solution is to spread data out to hundreds or thousands of locations. No one location is that valuable unless you know what is there. But with everything at one location, the hacker knows what they want is there.

If I was a betting man, I’d say less that six months after completion it will have been breached. The breach will be classified because too many jobs are on the line. But within probably nine months every important document or bit of information will have been stolen.
