Protecting Your Personal Data in the Cloud

How can you be sure the information you store on the cloud is safe? The short answer is you can't. However, you can take some protective measure. Here are some data privacy protection tips to help you tackle the issue of cloud privacy.

Perform regular data backups.
No matter how reliable the cloud might seem it’s always a good idea to back up your data somewhere else. At the very least, regular backups ensure that your valuable data won’t be permanently lost in the event of a data breach or other data theft incident.

Use cloud services that encrypt your data by default.
Different cloud service providers offer different options for data storage and handling. Finding a cloud storage service that provides automatic data encryption means that anything you share or store with that provider will be safe. This is a good option for users that want to encrypt all of their data in the cloud as opposed to encrypting on a case-by-case basis.

Encrypt sensitive data.
Encryption is one of the most effective ways to secure your data. By encrypting sensitive data you ensure that your information is readable only by intended parties (only those with a decryption key). Simply encrypt a file prior to uploading to the cloud and you’re good to go!

Create a strong password.
Strong passwords are a critical component of good security hygiene, and cloud security is no different. Passwords should be unique and complex to ensure that malicious actors can’t guess them or reuse compromised passwords from your other accounts. Change passwords regularly or in the event of an account compromise. Use cloud service providers that offer two-factor authentication where possible.

Carefully read the terms and conditions of your cloud service provider.
Some cloud services allow you to share your data through them with others. Some cloud service providers don’t advertise that they might have the right to use the content you share on the cloud. Make sure to read a provider’s terms and conditions and scrutinize their data protection policies before using their services!

Use anti-virus and anti-spy.
No matter how secure your cloud might be, your data could still be at risk if the device or files you’re using are infected with malware. Run anti-virus and/or anti-spy software to make sure that you aren’t inadvertently downloading malware from the cloud or exposing data to malware on your device.

Chevrolet Bel Air 1950s

The Chevrolet Bel Air is a full-size car produced by Chevrolet for the 1950–1975 model years. Initially, only the two-door hardtops in the Chevrolet model range were designated with the Bel Air name from 1950 to 1952. With the 1953 model year, the Bel Air name was changed from a designation for a unique body shape to a premium level of trim applied across a number of body styles. The Bel Air continued with various other trim level designations, and it went from a mid-level trim car to a budget fleet sedan when U.S. production ceased in 1975. Production continued in Canada, for its home market only, through the 1981 model year. From 1950 to 1952, the Bel Air Sport Coupe name was used only for the two-door hardtops in the Chevrolet model range, to distinguish the car from the Styleline and Fleetline models. It is named after the wealthy Bel Air neighborhood on the Westside of Los Angeles. 1950 Chevrolet Bel-Air First-year production reached only 76,662 models built. The car cost $1,741 a...

Greatest muscle cars of all time

Because it is a genre that enthusiasts are passionate about, you are bound to generate some criticism when compiling a list of the 7 greatest muscle cars of all time. However, we stuck its neck out to do just that. Some enthusiasts trace the history of muscle cars to the 1949 Oldsmobile Rocket 88. But the heyday of this genre ran from 1965 to 1970 before collapsing under the weight of higher gas prices, more stringent exhaust emissions regulations and soaring insurance costs. What is a muscle car? There isn't a settled definition, but most experts agree it's a smaller, 2-door car powered by a high-displacement engine typically found in a larger, full-size sedan. Some argue that pony cars, such as the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro, aren't muscle cars at all, but for this list, we chose not to make that distinction. Manufacturers engineered muscle cars for straight-line speed, inspiring more than an occasional Saturday night drag race between traffic lights. Neither built...
