6 Minute English - Cloud suspicion (part2)

I think ultimately, it's about been savvy on what you put in the cloud. If you had a private or sensitive photograph or contractor, something like document that has public interest and people want to try and get. Just think twice about putting into environment such as cloud, you don't really have any control whatever.

 He says people have to be savvy. And that means willing form and quite sure you know, thinking carefully about things. He advise that has to be  very careful before putting document, pictures on this website owned by big corporation.

Yes, because he says we don't have any control over their computers. You don't know secure your document is up?

Yes, you know Rob, I can see how people are suspicious of this things.

OK let's hear what BBC technology corespondent XXX  has to say, when XXX explains how some cloud companies are offering to make the cloud more secure. Which word does he use to describe this kind of security process and also identification of the user.

Many cloud companies now offer an added layer of security called 2 factor authentication  when people have to enter a code send to their mobile phone, as well as password, to get into their account.

OK, the word was authentication, and that conformation that someone is, who they say they are. And company actually  use this two step to do this.

Yes, after you try to access your account, they send the code, probably a series of numbers, to your mobile phone.  So it's extra bit information only you know, we really all should be careful about how we protect our computers, our tablets, our phone, things like that.

Talking about smartphone, let's go back to my question. I asked you how many people had mobile phone in 2013. Was it 1.4 million people, 40 million people, or 1.4 billion people.

I know I said 1.4 billion. The big one.
