The playstation network actually got hacked and had its data stolen by hackers so its not un usual for massives company's completly messing up your private information. However you as the user must realise that you are handing over your private information to them and it is at your own risk that you do so. They can only promise to protect it with all there power and ensure they dont steal it themeself's but accidents can happen. You wont hand over your private details to your local shop because your afriad of it being miss used so maybe use that logic again to apply it in this scenario and realise that your valuable data is in somebody elses hands, and although company's such as google are safer then your local shop. You still must decide weather the online advantage with your data in the system is worth the risk....hmmmm
