Oh, the line between security and convenience is harsh.
While reading TechRepublic I found this interesting article on DropBox security.
I love the convenience of cloud technologies, and use DropBox like lots of people, including the article author (Michael Kassner). This article serves as a nice reminder to treat confidential files appropriately.
We take a number of measures to ensure that the data you store on Dropbox is safe and secure. While we’re very confident in our technology, we recognize that no system can guarantee data security with 100% certainty. For that reason, we will continue to innovate to make sure that our security measures are state of the art, and we will investigate any and all reported security issues concerning Dropbox’s services or software. For a direct line to our security experts, report security issues to security@dropbox.com .
