Getting hack is secondary to me. Would you trust a stranger with a master key to you house, regardless how well intension (s)he may be? Any encrypted data can be broken, it just a matter of time. Once that sensitive data goes into the cloud, it stays in the cloud indefinitely.

I don't use Facebook, Twitter, Google drive or Drop-box. I don't event trust putting sensitive data on a thumb drive let alone the cloud.
