If someone else's account is compromised, you would not be, because apps are logically separated. There would be no way for the compromised or uncompromised account to ever see your data.

If Instant is compromised, then that's a lot more dangerous. We minimize this risk following security best practices: keeping data encrypted at rest, keeping secrets hashed at creation time, etc.

Keyword is "logically" separated here...

Also no motion of data encrypted during transit.

Would not use this for anything other than toy projects.

Oh they’re logically separated. Thanks for explaining that. Now I’m certain nothing could possibly go wrong.
