Other worst cases - you leave the firewall wide open, and some script kiddies steal the photos, replace them with kiddie porn and refer you to the police.

This is a risk regardless of where I store my data. If I have a machine with any local storage of any kind at all, then someone could break in and store stuff there.

So this is not a differentiator between storing your own data in the cloud and locally.
