Cloud computing is a storage spot for malware
Cloud computing may be a place for malicious files to be stored and transmitted from.
David Hobson, managing director of GSS, warned that cloud computing may turn into a ‘malware-fest' after researchers detected a method of using the Amazon EC2 service as a BitTorrent host/downloading mechanism.
Hobson said: “Using P2P programs like BitTorrent has always been a risky procedure for PC users owing to the issue of infections arriving along with the pirated software and other executables. Reports have just come in, in fact, that BitTorrent is hosting a malware-loaded version of the Apple iWork software.
