You install a keylogger on your machine, and it grabs all the 
usernames/passwords that you enter.

Are you suggesting that using an "internal" service is safer in this case? If 
so, you're going to stop using an external bank, utilities company, supermarket 
etc.? and run all of that "internally"?

Just goes to show, the cloud is in general much less secure.
Not only are you open to any and all cloud hacks, you're also STILL open to all 
internal attacks.

And this will get nothing but worse in the future as more IT operations are 
outsourced to the cloud.
When no one's left in IT to protect a company, it's game over.

Note: This was due to keylogging software installed on a ton of systems, which 
wasn't a direct breach of these companies but just underscored how poorly the 
common computer is secured, but everyone wants to do banking, etc etc on there.
