"All your clouds are belong to us!"

That was the name of a presentation given at a security conference regarding Amazon's EC2 cloud service. Basically they were able to hack XML and get in to the administrator interface, which allowed them to stop/start/create virtual services. Apparently EC2 is also vulnerable to cross-site scripting.

WHEE! Let's put all our data in the cloud!

And this is right after they were worried about data protection in the EU, right? It's a perfect "pants-down" moment to follow the warning.
