The Cloud Security Alliance identifies the top 9 cloud security risks or "Notorious Nine" for 2013. Most of the threats are due to sophisticated hacking for profit and decreased company diligence. Data breaches, where data is stolen for profit, ranks as the number one threat. Data loss through human error, sabotage or natural disasters is also a concern. Other risks include account hijacking, insecure application programming interfaces, denial of service attacks, malicious insiders, abuse of shared cloud services, insufficient security practices, and vulnerability in shared technology.
