Personally, I advocate writing all of your data and critical information to two separate memory sticks each month.

Then simply mail one to the Chinese Embassy and one to the Russian Embassy.
(You have to figure that the US acronym groups already have it...)

It is so much easier than worrying about who might hack you. :-)

I'm much more concerned about what our own government accumulates on us with the help of such organizations and may use against any one of us at any time.
