Protecting their data is my &lt;i&gt;responsibility&lt;/i&gt;. While I have little doubt that Apple (and other vendors that provide similar services) do their best to guarantee the security of these products, their centralized nature and potential value of the data it leads to make them very juicy targets.</text></comment>
