Answer:

Theft of intellectual property.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cloud computing is making hardware, software and data available on demand via a network, often the internet. The cloud stands for a network that, with all the computers connected to it, forms a kind of 'cloud of computers', where the end user does not know how many or which computers the software runs on or where those computers exactly stand. In this way, the user no longer needs to be the owner of the hardware and software used and is therefore not responsible for maintenance. The details of the information technology infrastructure are hidden from view and the user has his own virtual infrastructure, scalable in size and possibilities. The cloud is therefore a technique with which scalable online services can be offered. Without the ability to scale, an online service offered does not relate to cloud computing.
