Yep. Gonna lose that bet.
Plenty of people here old enough to remember party lines.
I have the same reservations about a lot of what is marketed as cloud services. And not just for security (in terms of unauthorized use or access) reasons. But this is one more bit of IT sold as an appliance, and people want to believe it is.
And when a provider like Amazon doesn't even know what is going on in its own personal cloud (let alone their website)*, I have no idea why I should trust them to host my stuff, directly or through another party using their services, in their cloud.
*Complicated anecdote which I will spare you, which is not statistical data, but which is illustrative I think. Ended up involving 95 minutes on the phone, multiple corrections on multiple points of failure. Yes, it's their software running in their cloud, but they also built and run the cloud.
