Calm down. I can trust the academicians in the field. Also the world is more than the US. And I'm fed up with having to trust my data with possibly/usually incompetent people (and sometimes one really has to, e.g. my schools online services). Trained staff and mandatory third-party security tests are a nice place to commence. It's nice that on the internet you can hack together a thing and get going, but it's not one's email address the only thing at the stakes. I would like to be able to differentiate between the hack and the proper service. And ATM the only thing we have is intuition and the https in the domain.
