Current trends and issues associated with cloud data storage
The 21st century is the age of information. More and more data are generated on the daily basis creating
an ever-increasing demand for storage space. Not every home computer, let alone a mobile device, can
store all its own generated data. The capacity of the built-in memory is growing along with
requirements for data safety. The increased volume of generated data proportionally increases the
number of potential threats to the storage of this data.
With the growth in the number of devices, cloud storage services are becoming increasingly important.
Many cloud storage providers promise fast, reliable and convenient services. However, the things are a
bit more complicated.

Pure statistics
The year 2013 was marked by a scandal involving the outdated SSL service certificate by Microsoft
Azure which provided criminals with an opportunity to hack the Xbox Live system;
The so-called Celebgate incident, which happened in 2015, when hackers stole intimate photos of some
celebrities from the iCloud (Apple) cloud storage;
The number of hacks inflicted on cloud services is growing every year at the rate around 50%;
Approximately 70% of companies have at least one application running in a cloud;
Lloyd’s of London and Cyence believe that a massive attack on cloud storage can cause losses in excess
of $ 5 billion, and only 15-17% of the total amount will be covered by insurance;
In 2017, the data storage of Equifax, the US leading consumer credit report agency, had been hacked
resulting a personal data loss of 143 million customers. Consequently, the value of company’s stocks
has plummeted by 13%;
The absence of two-factor authentication resulted in a personal data theft of 80 million customers of
Anthem, an American health insurance company.

Data loss in cloud storage
Despite the fact that this type of storage is called “cloud”, the data is stored in physical terrestrial and
underground locations, called data centers.
The actual storage devices are hard disks prone to various effects similar to those inherent in modern
HDDs, such as an appearance of bad sectors, errors caused by voltage drops or physical damage to the
disk surface, both due to improper operation or a design defect.
As a rule, all information is duplicated in backup copies according to a specific schedule. However, this
method does not fully guarantee the safety of your data. Also we must consider the human factor.

Theft of data from cloud storage
Data is not always lost as a result of technical failures. Often there is a banal theft. The criminals may
steal information just for fun or with the purpose of honing their hacking skills. Information can be

stolen with a very specific purpose: to make money through blackmailing or selling valuable data to
interested parties.
Not long ago, the media was buzzing with the news regarding the theft of intimate photos of celebrities
from the cloud storage belonging to one of the main players on the mobile market.
After the scandal, the company responsible for security of the storage, as a third-party contractor, left
the market, but the pictures, however, went all over the world.

Network Attack
The storage where your data is located may be subjected to a targeted cyberattack. In that case, you
could be just a casual victim, especially if the hackers aimed at the entire service with the purpose of
stealing or damaging the personal data of a particularuser, whether it be an individual or a company.

DDos Attack
No matter how safe a cloud storage is a simple DDoS attack can cause huge losses to the service by
slowing down or blocking its operations, with users not being able to retrieve their data or use the
service.

Human Factor
Despite the abundance of cyberthreats, the so-called human factor remains the most dangerous
element in the process of securing data. An attacker can be located within the data center, for example,
as a system administrator.
This situation is quite common. Some employees are willing to commit crimes to enrich themselves.
The stolen personal data or the access to that information can be sold to various criminal organizations
which may inflict an enormous damage, both moral and material.
