New threats, such as the “Man in the Cloud Attack” (MITC), underscore the difficulties in protecting data stored in the cloud. The problem is that very few companies are defending themselves against this new threat, and most don’t fully understand the implications.

This is yet another example that shows the cloud is not the ultimate solution - it's (misleadingly) advertised to be the ultra-secure solution for data, but, in reality, it's not.
We do need to use a "hybrid" solution: Doing multiple backups on the cloud and on local device. There's no other way, IMO.

This is an upsetting news!
I was not aware about the MITC attack! I have accounts in all these places, but now i feel that i need to be more vigilant. Anyways thanks for sharing this and for the solution to escape from this attack. Thanks for providing the links to reach the page to get the protection from the Man in the Cloud,!
Thanks Dave for sharing this very informative piece here.
Best Regards

There are pros and cons to everything. While the cloud is convenient, I sure hope this vulnerability doesn't affect Trello (or the other solutions everyone else uses).
