Terrorists are using cloud computing to plan attacks and remain undetected - and the UK Government needs to keep up with such technological advances.

This was the message of Home Secretary Theresa May, who today outlined the Government’s updated counter-terrorism strategy, known as CONTEST.

Cloud, one of the hot topics in the IT world right now, is one example of how terrorists are using modern technologies for their own ends. “Cloud computing offers new means for storing, sharing and distributing material online," May warned. "It can be encrypted and configured to work with mobile devices, leaving little or no trace of the data behind."
