    #Really?

    Are they Lenovo Servers or IBM Mainframes or Power Servers? How many of those Data Centers are using Lenovo Servers? Where is the Server Hardware Tech Support coming from? Cairo? India? Because they sure aren't getting support from the USA, given all of the Hardware Tech Layoffs, both staff and contractors.

    There is one problem across the world and in Cloud centers in particular - compliance. Besides of all other regulations they are not compliant to GDPR by definition. There is Malicious Hypervisor threat and the possibility that such software has been silently installed in unknown number of computers. Unknown because there is NO malicious hypervisor identification software on market yet. We simply know nothing about which computer has it.

      It's not incument on cloud service providers to be compliant with GDPR, that's down to the companies using them.

      As for a malicious hypervisor threat, keep it on-prem or use bare metal, steer clear of hyper-v ;-)
