Why do we hear about the gov.t getting hacked so much? Shouldn't this be a very rare thing? I mean... IMO I think you'd hear more about private parties being attacked than the gov.t. Although this guy's foreign... (why a brit... they are okay with us right? dont hate americans?) I duno just... seems like u hear about the .mil getting hacked way more than it should be... you'd think with the military's resources they'd give this crap higher priority. Anyone here know why it doesn't seem to be that way?
