Yes, Cryptostorm is good for identity compartmentalization, and it's run by people who are passionate about privacy. That still doesn't mean their servers can't be compromised, or they can't suddenly decide to log everything one day. Their passion might even make them a target.

(I was able to find some information leaks in their forums, which I reported responsibly, but a malicious actor could have used to exploit an outdated module.)

Despite my less-than-chilly feelings about the service operator, I certainly wouldn't recommend anyone else trust them. An SSH tunnel over Tor (or even better, something like PORTAL) to protect against malicious exit nodes, where the endpoint is a VPS you rent with bitcoin not connected to your real identity, is preferable.
