why i will NEVER use the cloud

Post by phuketrichard »

like i have said,
no way anyone can get my data off my external hard drive without stealing it from my home

BUT if all ur data is in the cloud someone from anywhere can get it.
The scenario goes like this: a hacker uses a program called iBrute which is a brute-force password guessing program for the iPhone. Yeah, there is actually such a program. It’s available free on line. With that, you can acquire certain types of information. But if you manage to get the user’s password with iBrute, you can then use EPPB ( EPPB or Elcomsoft Phone Password Breaker http://www.wired.com/2014/09/eppb-icloud/ ) to capture the user’s entire storage — everything they have on the iCloud and nobody will know.
The instructions appear on hacker message boards. “Use the script to hack her passwd…use eppb to download the backup,” wrote a hacker on the Anon-IB message board (or forum). “Post your wins here ;-) ” That’s what they call data theft: “wins”.

This appears to be what these hackers did and, as of this writing, they’re still doing it. Data is currently still being stolen from iCloud. Apple appears unable to stop it.

Scary!

Yet another reason to get an Android.

People are stupid. In the near future every fridge will have a camera installed and that thing will be online. Every TV will have a camera installed and it will also be online. Now, everybody knows that these devices can be externally controlled/activated.....yet everybody will buy such a device and everybody will wonder if "big brother" is knocking at your door (where did they get that info from ???????).
The reason why people upload to the cloud, and why they have smart phones is that they are simply naive and ignorant. They refuse to see the reality.

Und die laufen vom Gesicht
Doch der Haifisch lebt im Wasser
So die Tränen sieht man nicht

In der Tiefe ist es einsam
Und so manche Träne fliesst
Und so kommt es dass das Wasser
In den Meeren salzig ist

Strong passwords don't protect you against big brother.

I'm reasonably confident the only information that can be gathered from my cloud accounts (of which I have several) and my internet metadata will reveal little about me.

It will also take a long long time for the most powerful computers to brute force my passwords.

If u use the cloud like apple wants you too ( upload all ur contacts, ur data, ur emails, ) to make them MORE EASY FOR YOU TO ACCESS anywhere using ur tablet, imac, iphone etc etc.
they will know everything about you, what websites u visit, where you shop, ur contacts, where you go ( all these fools that use that software that says ur at such an such a place- Never could understand that),ur current location ( via gps)

Nope, Not for me

You think ur clever to use a random password? they cant get it fast enough and do it while ur sleeping
