Even with the vast potential that cloud computing has, so far, it has not been adopted by the consumers with the enthusiasm and pace that it be worthy; this is a very reason statement why consumers still hesitated of using cloud computing for their sensitive data and the threats that prevent the consumers from shifting to use cloud computing in general and cloud storage in particular. The cloud computing inherits the traditional potential security and privacy threats besides its own issues due to its unique structures. Some threats related to cloud computing are the insider malicious attacks from the employees that even sometime the provider unconscious about, the lack of transparency of agreement between consumer and provider, data loss, traffic hijacking, shared technology and insecure application interface. Such threats need remedies to make the consumer use its features in secure way. In this review, we spot the light on the most security and privacy issues which can be attributed as gaps that sometimes the consumers or even the enterprises are not aware of. We also define the parties that involve in scenario of cloud computing that also may attack the entire cloud systems. We also show the consequences of these threats.
