Sweden’s Transport Agency moved all of its data to “the cloud”, apparently unaware that there is no cloud, only somebody else’s computer. In doing so, it exposed and leaked every conceivable top secret database: fighter pilots, SEAL team operators, police suspects, people under witness relocation. Names, photos, and home addresses: the list is just getting started. The responsible director has been found guilty in criminal court of the whole affair, and sentenced to the harshest sentence ever seen in Swedish government: she was docked half a month’s paycheck
Many governments have had partial leaks in terms of method (Snowden) or relations (Manning) lately, but this is the first time I’m aware that the full treasure chest of every single top-secret governmental individual with photo, name, and home address has leaked. It goes to show, again, that governments can’t even keep their most secret data under wraps — so any governmental assurances to keep your data safe have as much value as a truckload of dead rats in a tampon factory
From the next article:
The leak continues to this day.
In Swedish from expressen (tabloid newspapers in Sweden):

bullsnit.
And Jeff Bezos runs the ‘cloud’ for the CIA.
This article is a little sketchy. No, the “cloud” doesn’t mean your data is stored on someone else’s computer. It means your data is broken up into thousands, or even millions, of “shards,” and each one of those shards is heavily encrypted and stored on someone else’s computer. The other options are actually storing your data on someone else’s computer in a server farm, or, still less safe for all but the biggest players, trying to store the data on your own server.
Sweden’s worst leak is at the borders in letting Muzzies in.
Death Knell.
Sweden has the names and addresses of all of our SEAL team members? What am I missing?
It is only the amount of data that makes it difficult to store securely. My Texas chili recipes are pretty safe.
And, scalability is not supposed to be a problem to SSD’s.
However, if it is access that creates the security issues (is that really you, John, at the door?), that is not a computing problem. It is a social problem.
The equivalent Swedish teams.
this article’s sources are sh*t. you don’t have to get anywhere near worrying about what the cloud is or is not.
I never thought the Swedish government could do something this inhuman.
Why exactly would Sweden have all of the USA’s covert information?
Hussein, along with the Muzie Broz.
Before Obama left office ALL 17 of U.S. civilian intelligence agencies began, in 2014, using a “cloud” system for sharing data and applications that is run on servers on an Amazon server farm. Amazon is now exploiting what it is learning from the 17 agencies use of that contract to market applications and services to the intelligence community directly.
Trump should move all it back to to government owned and operated secure systems.
Sweden: Too Stupid to Survive.
Part of Swedish meatballs which is nothing less than muzzie meatballs.
"SEAL team" I'm assuming they meant special forces as the writer doesn't know what types of military forces Sweden has.
Absolutely. I don't believe Sweden will survive from their "Islamic mistake"
Idiots, all. The cloud is designed to share information. It works well for that purpose, whether that is the intent or not.
