There is https encryption going from your computer to their sync server,
but then it is decrypted and stored on their computer in a way I guess
similar to the way your computer stores your tasks.
That means the hacker may find a way to break into their server, but
they are probably more likely to break into your computer, and likely
already have access. It's something that changed in the last 10 years, a
lot more infiltration into personal computers and monitoring what you
do. That means they can probably get your tasks without you syncing
anywhere else. Worried? I suggest learning as much as you can about
personal security and ways to encrypt private information. Only
encrypting it on the cloud won't help much.
