Citrix says its network was breached by international criminals

And this is why I am so vehemently anti-Citrix. This was inevitable, I've said it's inevitable numerous times. When I need to run the client for work, I block all connectivity to their servers but I can't be responsible for the shit they're doing on the server end. So no doubt I have personal info in this somewhere.

Ditto for everything on the Microsoft end. All I've seen these past few years is our enterprise porting all our shit to 'the almighty cloud'. Gotta get invested in every fucking Microsoft platform from Skype to Sharepoint. Things that used to be safely managed locally--now all online, because that can't ever fail and can't ever be compromised. Until it is.

I fucking hate this modern culture. Every bit of it, and I work alongside older guys who worked under people that never would have stood for this. The thought of putting our most valuable info online would have been rejected with extreme prejudice by the old guard, but now you get new management--they get courted by companies, attend these events, and come back 'oh yeah, Cloud this and Cloud that. We're going to put everything in the Cloud and roll out all these products that are remotely hosted and maintained'
