This doesn't have anything to do with the "cloud" it has to do with hacked machines that control the POS terminals. I can tell you from experience these machines are usually not very well kept and usually run embedded XP/Windows7, without the right patches and the software that takes transactions isn't the best built or most secure either.
And please don't tell me that the "update to date" AV is going to safe you from getting hacked, which is required by PCI DSS. (Lol) Z Edward E.
