LulzSec, Anonymous and hacktivism: Crappy security has caught up with us

What happens when the CIA, Senate, various gaming sites, Citibank and a bevy of others are hacked on a regular basis by various groups with one-liners on Twitter and no formal organization? You lose confidence in the Internet and the data passing through it.

My confidence in Internet security—not that there was much in the first place—is looking like a wall made of Swiss cheese. We’ve known for years that our collective security policies—personal, enterprise, consumer and otherwise—were lax. Nearly every piece of software we use has some vector to exploit. Every site that touches a server is vulnerable. Even those fancy security fobs from RSA can be had. And don’t get us started on passwords.
