(707 posts)I cut my teeth on Token Ring in the 80s lol.
My guess is it involves encryption on both ends that is multi layered. Cloud based is just a fancy way of saying its on a server somewhere else and using TCP/IP to retrieve it. Google and others spent time and money building server farms with mega data storage capability.
Funny thing our nukes are still using 8 floppy disks from the 70s on systems that have no connectivity with other computers because it cannot be hacked. DOD is actively testing cloud use for some data it hasnt gone as well as hoped. White Hat hackers have exposed many open ports that allowed access. In short nothing is truly safe if connected nor if rouge data like a thumb drive is introduced.
