Microsoft HealthVault: Who Do You Trust 2.0?

I felt really uncomfortable when I read about the winner of the recent Techcrunch40... Mint.com. Who are these people and why should we trust them with all our financial data? Now Microsoft made their HealthVault available to store medical information. Of course, Microsoft is well known to pretty much anyone. But, again, why should any of us trust financial, health, or any other detailed potentially sensitive and confidential information with them or any other commercial entity?

If you've kept up with the news, you've probably seen the dozens of stories about various government, educational, and commercial entities losing all kinds of personal information that must, by now, number in the tens of millions of records. Maybe it is just me, but I feel really uncomfortable with HealthVault, Mint, and other kinds of similar services where you voluntarily place lots and lots of information about yourself and your family.

How about you? Have we achieved Trust 2.0 all of a sudden? I'm not so sure.
