Told you so: Perfect Utah Example

I have written before about the importance of strong passwords, well here is an example of what can happen when you don't:

On March 30, Eastern Europeans hacked into and gained personal records of over 780,000 people. Why? One technician used a weak password. Because of this, the hackers could retrieve all of this information including social security numbers. If this massive amount of data can leak out through something as "secure" as medical records, consider all of the other sites you are providing personal information.

Lessons to be learned:
--Use strong password
--Never trust your data in others' hands
