Many one man efforts (domains or websites) are often hosted by very secure companies (e.g. GoDaddy, eNom.com, Google, Yahoo etc.).


Since the website in question in this discussion is hosted by Yahoo, a reasonably secure company, and it syncs its servers directly with Google's servers, the chances of hacking while never completely eliminated are significantly low.


However, mitigating risks to oneself still requires some degree of skepticism, and ectoplasm I applaud you for that. Also, it's becoming increasingly important to protect your tablet using antivirus software that is available to all Android owners at little or no cost.
