Yeah, you're right, I must be stupid
Like I said before: Banks are regulated in part by the government, and rules can and will be added to force banks to make the data secure. Plus why should I withdrawl my money, my accounts are FDIC insured.

Google as a search company will never be forced to adhere to any legal requirements regarding breech and loss of information, and you'll have to agree with their EULA that I'm sure states thay are not responsible for any loss of data.

As for why I must be stupid, I trust the security of my own computer MUCH MUCH more then I do Google's, so since they are professionals, I must have gaping holes in my security where they have none.

By the way: Some clerk walked out of Los Alamos with highly secure nuke info. What make you think some clerk isn't walking out of Google with your private info right now? Maybe he'll walk out with confidential financial info from some corporation next week...
