Yes, there are some security concerns with cloud computing - 1. Data Breaches - Cloud computing and services is a newer technology, yet data breaches in all forms have existed for years. Cloud comes with unique features making it vulnerable to security breaches. 2. Hijacking Accounts - Attackers now have the ability to use one's login information to remotely access sensitive data stored on the cloud; additionally. However, the most notable new threat known as the Man In Cloud Attack involves the theft of user tokens which cloud platforms use to verify individual devices without requiring logins during each update and sync. 3. Malware injections are scripts or code embedded into cloud services that act as valid instances and run as SaaS to cloud servers. This means that malicious code can be injected into cloud services and viewed as part of the software or service that is running on the cloud servers themselves.
