Have You Ever Seen The Rain?

Someone told me long ago, there's a calm before the storm.
I know, and it's been comin' for some time.
When it's over, so they say, it'll rain a sunny day.
I know, shinin' down like water.

Yo se los dije en este post : Cloud Computing y la tormenta perfecta.

Aparentemente los datos robados a Twitter salieron de Google Apps.

I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain comin' down on a sunny day?

Biz Stone ( co fundador de Twitter ) quito responsabilidad a Google, ya que "NUEVAMENTE" el problema radico en una password demasiado facil.

"About a month ago, an administrative employee here at Twitter was targeted and her personal e-mail account was hacked. From the personal account, we believe the hacker was able to gain information, which allowed access to this employee's Google Apps account which contained Docs, Calendars, and other Google Apps Twitter relies on for sharing notes, spreadsheets, ideas, financial details and more within the company. Since then, we have performed a security audit and reminded everyone of the importance of personal security guidelines,"


Stone hablando sobre el incidente con el Security Officer de Twitter.

Yesterday, and days before, sun is cold and rain is hard.
I know, been that way for all my time.
'Til forever on it goes through the circle fast and slow,
I know, and it can't stop, I wonder.

Noooooo podes decir esto. Cuando hace unos meses te tomaron control de la interfaz de tu aplicacion. Y las politicas de seguridad ? Y la politica de password ?

Stone ( que evidentemente es bueno para los negocios, pero de piedra para la seguridad ) no podes tirarle la responsabilidad al empleado. No aprendieron nada de los problemas anteriores y de los problemas que afectaron a usuarios de su aplicacion ?

I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain comin' down on a sunny day?

Y Google Apps deberia no aceptar password que no son seguras cuando lo que estas guardando es la informacion de una empresa.

Este tipo de incidentes en los servicios en Nube esta poniendo en alerta a varios analistas que observan como los problemas de seguridad resultan en algunos casos "catastroficos".

PD : Estoy muy desenchufado del blog por otros temas, asi que no esperen muchas actualizaciones porque la cabeza esta en otro lado.

Me gusta este tema de Credence, asi que una vez mas les pregunto :

I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
