Are you worried yet?

I have been writing in this blog about the need for increased security and government involvement to resolve these problems. I have been writing that these problems are bigger than people realize and affect each and every one of us - our security, our salary, our bank accounts, credit cards, identities and our online purchases.

Today the pentagon was hacked:

Ok it happens. But how long has this been going on I wonder?

And even worse...our secretary of state says "I'm a very low-tech person."

If the government doesn't get it that they need someone who understands Internet security at the top of the chain - then we are all in big trouble. He better get high-tech or at least tech savvy pretty soon or we are all in big trouble.
