I have written before about (what seem to me obvious) dangers inherent in putting personal or commercial information online. Here are some concrete examples:
1. Whether by design or incompetence, Facebook reveals more information to strangers than you think.
2. Your remotely stored documents may be liable to subpoena without your knowledge.
The moral of the story, folks, is Nicholas’ second law of computing:
The fact that you need to enter a password to access your data tells you nothing about who else can access it.
Corollary: passwords provide only peace of mind.
