171,000 Military accounts hacked!

Reading the L.A. Times this morning. Check out the article HERE.

The group known as LulzSec is back after months of inactivity, claiming to have hacked into the accounts of nearly 171,000 members of the military on a matchmaking website. LulzSec is the same group responsible for 2011 hacks of the FBI, CIA, Sony and PBS. If multi-national, powerful corporations and organizations like these have difficulty keeping their secrets safe from hackers, what hope does that hold for the rest of us? Something needs to be done. Changes need to be made -- and those changes start with each and every one of us taking responsibility for the information we're sharing and the sites we're visiting.

Think twice before you send your next e-mail. You never know what unexpected eyes might be reading it...
