Prime example of Potential vs Reality, but anything you backup to a cloud is vulnerable. That article is pure scaremongering, you may as well say Google has access to all your email accounts and is reading all your emails.

Many (probably most) of these Android phones and tablets are phoning home to Google, backing up Wi-Fi passwords along with other assorted settings. And, although they have never said so directly, it is obvious that Google can read the passwords.

There's more to this than storing a back up, you need to dig deeper, I got as far as finding it disturbing then changed my password and blocked Android devices, such a cess pit and getting worse daily.

Now iCloud can remember your account names, passwords and credit card numbers for you.

Storing passwords is irrelevant, most OS's do it
Storing a password in plain text is the problem, surely
Do cloud providers really store passwords in plain text?
