Title

Privacy violation

Description

The characteristics of cloud computing (e.g., remote data storage, platform sharing, service dynamic change, just to mention a few) make privacy protection particularly challenging. Privacy violation, however, regularly occurs purposely, when cloud providers e.g., do not comply with enterprise policies or legislation, or force/persuade users to give personal information against their will.

Context

Normal operation

Feature

Data storage and utilization metadata

Tactic intent

Violating user privacy (e.g., for marketing purposes, unauthorized monitoring)

Intent measure

Private-data-leak frequency and degree of seriousness

Countermeasure

Due to the many recent scandals in various ICT industries, countermeasures are fast emerging, e.g., legislation. Another example would be to give back to users the power to decide what to share.
