AB  - Cloud computing is a major internet-based technology that 
  has transformed the way in which data is stored. Due to its ubiquitous use, 
  countries have enacted various legislations to prevent the abuse of personal 
  data by unauthorized parties. Cloud computing activities involving personal 
  data must be subject to such restrictions and comply with measures imposed by 
  the authorities. This research evaluates the Malaysian Personal Data Protection 
  Act 2010 and the EU Data Protection Directive 1995 in order to establish whether 
  these regulations adequately address issues related to cloud computing. It also 
  explores whether legal issues of cloud computing affect the way personal data 
  is handled and managed. The findings show that while the PDPA 2010 satisfies 
  basic data protection issues in Malaysia, a review of the act is necessary to 
  meet the latest security and privacy protection demands arising from the use 
  of cloud computing technology.
