I almost expect that anything saved on the cloud is hackable and therefore dont save anything that is too private. Thats what encrypted flash drives are for.
I think we should use more password protection. For example HSBC. They use a designated password, randomly chosen letters of a remembered password and a birth date.
Of course I'm worried that my info in the cloud will be stolen, but that's why I only store non-sensitive information in the cloud.

It's not any safer- but it's not a reason not to store my data, etc in the cloud. Look, EVERYTHING is hackable sooner or later. Home, cloud, etc. But how likely am I to be hacked for anything of value? I'm a nobody on the grand scheme of things. I have nothing of "Value" in digital format. Not saying I want it shared, but really, it's not life changing either.

Might be a bit annoying. Annoyance vs Security
