google checkout security?

hi,

if my google account gets hijacked, will the hackers still have access to my CC information from google checkout?

granted, i've already notified the CC company, and they've closed that account.... i'm trying to avoid any "surprises" down the line.

Please dont use your Google accounts username and password in forums, blogs and online communities. Then you can avoid this kind of problem.

As far as I know, Google Checkout does not display customers CCs anywhere. Hence, the 'value' of a Google checkout account is small for a black hat (hacker). The only interesting aspect would be to re-route the bank account to which the money is payed out to, but that's pretty easy to keep track off.
