Agreed. This is especially bad, though, because if it's compromised they basically have hardware-level access to your machine. Unless you're using encrypted swap, and I'm not sure how standard that is.
Well, assuming you've already gone through the effort to write a custom kernel module to offload your swap pages to Google Drive, it doesn't seem like that much of a stretch to have it encrypt the data before transmitting it.
Is that what this would take? Then yeah, you'd hope somewhere in the process you consider this.
