Cloud computer platform looks like a fight carrier in the data world. Meanwhile, the data stored inside the cloud are under cloud protection. However different country implement different data protection law and data custodian policy. Perhaps development countries unaware this topics last decade. However big data upgrade his political position progressively. It looks that government enforcement unit not easy get the data in cloud farm easier. At least they must apply the key escrow or search warrant through official channel. Or you may say sometimes ask president approval can evade all the official channel. But how to monitor billion of mobile phones & computers? Perhaps it is not a secret, wikileak became a whistleblower since 2014 (see below url for reference). A strange issue draw my attention this year? There are more antivirus vendor detected finfisher malware this month (see attached detail in picture left hand corner).FinFisher customers include law enforcement and government agencies in the world. Do you think there is a new round of hostile country surveillance program being engaging at this year?
