Hackers are at it in full swing. There next stop was Apple.. AntiSec hackers group stole 26 user names and passwords ..

The hackers announced the attack on pastebin, a file-sharing website, where they also posted a link to a server used by Apple to process survey data, together with username and password information for the server's 26 administrative personnel.

AntiSec, made up of hackers from the well-known group Anonymous and from the now defunct Lulz Security, seeks to attack governments and large corporations in defense of "freedom and progress", members said.

On its Twitter account, @AnonymousIRC, the group published a link to the pastebin website with the list of usernames and passwords, though they said that with this attack they were "not being so serious" and that the computer giant isn't its main target.
 
In midst of such security breaches where do we stand. How is our data secure and how can this harm us?? Huge question isn't it??

Forget hackers, in india you can walk into any govt. office steal data by bribing those on duty. Hackers are a more technical lot for whom we dont have the time. We are simple people you see !

Thanks for referral Ms. Taniya Laskar,
As Computer programs & software increased, the Hackers technique has, also greatly, multiplied. Obviously, the reason may be, to stealthily steal information for money; or gain information on intelligence(also to counter if required); to pose considerable threat for a prosperous Business. Competition in this industry & Crimes growth in Networking provides scope for survival to Hackers.

well its  really a good debate, thanx to thaniya for the initiation ,as this is the serious revolution in the computer world.regular  cyber attacks is being is increasing and the hackers is growing up, they make a revenge on there  rivals,competence and of course for fun, its all just having some loop holes in the network, every web server vulnarable to the hackers to exploit and payload the web servers, hence  all firms should keep not to vulnarable their networks and webservers,
in order to  over come this issues from hackers every company should hire security professionals, All(employees,students,accountholders etc) should have aware of security threats and how they can  be secured by the hackers,
should have to implement the law and order ..cyber police and investigation teams should increase this present police is allotted only for criminal crimes but no serious actions might not be taken and the protection team may not sufficient for tracing the threats, hence we should concentrate on these areas to fight with the security issues,
recent attacks on major firms like sony and apple may teach  lessons to some other firms, hope all should alert as well,

No doubt its bad and one should not do it however That means there are loop holes in the websites/ servers so need of the hour is to fix them.....
As far as personla info leakage is concern ... one should take some security measures before one publish it on social networking websites

yes it is in deed a big question related with our social security. but we should not forget that such things do happens from time to time. Companies who develops the Antivirus are the one who spread the viruses too!!!! We just need to surf the web with safety and save our passwords and other personal information in a proper way.thanks for raising this question Miss Taniya.
