Well, this particular situation is 'old news', I believe, but still troubling. Not in the sense that RAX becomes a bad investment, IMO, but more from the perspective that the way business is now conducted, personal information is now shared, and company security issues are handled,etc. (to name a few) ...well, there are just many avenues for thiefs, hackers, dissidents and criminals to penetrate what we would all like to believe are one hundred foot solid steel walls around all our personal information.
'Ain't gonna happen'...we're all vulnerable to a certain degree anymore, and each time the best, most sophisticated security/password system, dead bolt locks are in place....someone else will find a way to penetrate it. Where does it stop? Well, I'd like to believe with human decency and honesty, etc...but, that 'ain't gonna happen' either. Sad.
Breeches like this will happen. It's ugly, dangerous, scary and you could put other words to describe it all. Is it due to the "cloud"... maybe sometimes, but RAX is keen to direct it's client's to either cloud, managed hosting, or combined depending on the client's security requirements.
This breech was not a singular RAX issue, but a sign of the times, real life, game changing event. For me, I shudder thinking of the amount of key information "out there" for the criminal taking.
Finally, I trust the measures RAX undertakes to have client information as secure as possible, and I trust this is something they work on every day for as long as they are a business. I'm counting on that to be for quite some time.
