You are assuming incorrectly that there is one way to penetrate.

Dear Asif, Our PDC-HPC cloud is in Swedish border and gaining physical access to it only permitted to SAPO. This is not Pakistan where one just pass by access point showing his NSA card.

Billions of people around the globe use Internet and social media websites for free and frank opinion surveys, all sorts of discussions about many aspects of human life and other matters with the belief and conviction that these messages sent on the Wi Fi will not be revealed to anybody else except the recipients. Yes! it will effect the research project of cloud computing and many other vital research groups around who share vital information and data related to the research projects through the Cloud Services Providers over the Internet. This revelation is very dangerous for IT users across the world. The silent majority has to ponder about it, with maturity and serious consideration to find the ways and means to stop it.
This shocking news by the Washington Post has shattered the confidence of general public around the world. There was also some recent discussion that the Internet and all the social media and otherweb applications were under the control of USA IT agencies and they can manipulate with them, the way they want and any time they want without any questions asked. There was also some discussions that the processing of all sorts of websites and all the matters related to Internet should be brought under the control of a neutral agency supervised by the United Nation. This body should be represented by the IT experts of all the members of the United Nation. The influence of USA secret agencies should be completely neutralized.
The doctrine of checking and elimination of foreign terrorists outside USA also needs to be impartially studied for revision.
One can ask the vital question: Has the USA secret agencies succeeded in elimination of local terrorism, reported almost on daily basis in the news media in USA, which has killed and killed more US citizens as compared to foreign terrorists since 9/11?
All the best wishes

Subject: [pakgrid] PRISM Effect on Cloud Computing
The Washington Post recently reported on a secret government program to snoop Internet data, named PRISM. How will this revelation impact the cloud computing world and could it put a damper on cloud adoption?
Last week, the Obama administration found itself embroiled in another pair of scandals. First, on Wednesday, The Guardian reported that the NSA has been collecting the call records of millions of Verizon customers (later reports say that AT&T and Sprint Nextel are also involved). On Friday, The Washington Post upped the ante and reported that "the National Security Agency and the FBI are tapping directly into the central servers of nine leading U.S. Internet companies, extracting audio and video chats, photographs, e-mails, documents, and connection logs that enable analysts to track foreign targets." The result of these revelations has been a deep discussion throughout the traditional media, blogosphere, and other social media about the desired limits of government power to intercept and analyze private communications. Whatever your opinion on the politics and civil liberties issues, one thing is for sure — the revelations about the PRISM program are going to change the way people look at public clouds.
