How secure is it?

Forgive me if this has been asked before, but I can't find it via Google WW site search...

I've gotten really fond of using the Toolbar to fill out forms, but so far I've hesitated entering my credit card data for fear it might be vulnerable.

I'm not thinking that Google would try to access it... but I'm wondering if it does present a less than secure target for spyware, etc.

Very good point.

One thing that has me worried....

I assume that the Toolbar uses common field names to fill out the forms. Is it in some way possible to have a hidden field that extracts some info that perhaps, we wouldent want it to?

I assume the developers have thought this through, but it would be good to receive some form of clarification.
