At the moment online logs are send and viewed using a secure (encrypted) connection. But they are not stored on the server in an encrypted form, no. Source:
Jieff's reply to Messenger Plus! 5 information.
It is something I would like to see in a future version too: Allowing users to save encrypted logs online and doing a client-side decryption. In fact maybe even force users to use encryption, or at least make it default. And in a way the hashed MyPlus! password couldn't possibly used to decrypt the logs of a user. It would also be much less of a liability for Yuna should they get hacked.

Not when users set their own encryption key, just like local logs can be encrypted at the moment. Sure, you could try to bruteforce weak passwords, but you can do that with every type of encryption and service in the world. You don't need a large amount of data for that, just a dictionary. As always: don't use weak passwords.

Being a global admin on the site i can tell you I don't have access to any logs except my own. As for bigger picture (server admins / corporate), I agree these are things people are right to ask and should get a proper and detailed answer to. Preferably in the form of an updated privacy policy.
Personally in addition to that I would still like to see encrypted storage as in the top of my post.
Although even when we do know information like this it still comes down to trust. Yes, Microsoft is a huge well-known company. So are Facebook and Google, still doesn't stop them from doing things users are shocked by.
