> Yodlee could be breached That's the part that data-collecting businesses like to ignore. Either they have perfect security - which is patently not true - or they are risking everyone's data. If they really believe the risk of a breach was low enough, they should be indemnifying their users against any damages from data breaches. Obviously, they won't, which demonstrates how much trust they put in their security. Also, financial transactions are probably the easiest data to de-anonymize. How many other people match the $42.13 you spent on gas at 7:32 this morning? Cross referencing with a few more transactions should eliminate the rare coincidence.
