NO WAY!!

Cucku has to rethink a big part of their security model. I was interested in using the application to backup my stuff. Eventhough I don't want to use skype, that shouldn't have been a problem, as the system presumable supports backup up to other destinations (although the only other destination I found in the interface was local and mapped drives... FTP would be a must). The first BIG problem I found though was the need to create an account that is managed by Cucku. WTF!! Why?? Why do they need my email? Why should I create a password? My guess is they store the encryption keys... How big a NONO is that?! If I'm going to use a 256bit encryption on by backed up files, why the HELL would I want the Cucku servers to keep copies of my encryption keys? I'm afraid this Cucku is a dead Dodo if they don't wise up QUICK!
