On the subject of trade secrets and commercial data, is it worth trusting known clouds?

The essence of the question is very simple.
For example, in my project there is commercial data that is important to me (the total amount of which is not millions of dollars, but still money, or information that costs money and is sold for money, or some kind of access keys to wallets or accounts, and all this is needed my server), should I be afraid of the theft of such data from cloud hosting and cloud code storage?
For example, if I use a private Bitbucket for GIT and some well-known VPS hosting for storing commercial information?
The question primarily concerns the companies themselves. Is access to such information somehow controlled within them? Or is it that everyone trusts them with all their trade secrets and right there they store the keys to all the doors of the company (or individual) without fear of encroachment, for example, by dishonest employees?

To put it mildly, you have to be an idiot to trust your data with such public things as github and bitbucket, homakov has already shown the github vulnerability twice with the ability to gain access, the question initially does not make sense, from the category here I will put the important in the most prominent place and probably with a rag let's go wind today will not be and no one will see

It all depends on the level of your trust in the company.
In fact, "hosting" companies do not benefit from the theft of client data, but no one is immune from the dishonesty of service personnel.
Storing such data in open form is not recommended at all, when a company decides that it has a lot of confidentiality on its servers, then the servers are transferred to their own server room or even their own DC is built :)
PS Bitbucket does not owe anything to anyone at all - if you use private free turnips: )

1) No one is immune from hacking, even the host. But you are the thinnest layer between an attacker and your data
2) The hoster can make backups and store them somewhere else without your knowledge
3) You can move from bitbucket to your gitlab
4) Nobody needs your data if there are no liards or government. secret.
5) Be sure to encrypt
6) You can put a server in the office and store everything you need there
