Short essay.
Much more than we think.
We are not alone. Some countries are masters in the art of hacking.
Young people are taking advanced courses in hacking.
It's very hard too to find out exactly who.
But it's a good job if you don't like to work physically anymore...Russians, Chinese, Americans, Syrians, Iraniens, Koreans, Israelites...anyone who can start world war III without dropping a single nuclear bomb, just with a computer.
It pays the bills and can buy you love.
A job and a paycheck before any morals, before any common sense, before any family values, before life, before being grounded on this planet.
Money is number one drive, everything else is just a face on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, ...
I'm humorous a little. It's a terrible thing mainly because of all the internet companies and social medias not doing their jobs. If they can't secure their clients and customers accounts who will?
When you become a member of any social medias or organisations on the internet you are automatically providing information on you and you give access to that info to anyone else who can access it.
Say you are a member of Home Garden forum. Your info will end up with people who sell home garden products. ...Yes, no?
Facebook, 50 million accounts. That's a lot of useful info for some selling compagnies, for some direction in the next leaders of some countries, for kids to play with, for people who are bidding for that info. This is all undercover, nobody knows exactly what's happening and what have been stolen, and how long it takes for many till they realize they are missing few credit cards or they purchased stuff that they never did. ...Something like that; older people aren't up with the tech world of the internet.
Every single day in the world many internet sites get wacked because of insufficient security. They don't invest to protect their customers investments.
If I was to post each time there is hacking happening not even a single day would go without being able to breathe, every single second...60/60, 24/24, 7/7, 365/365.
Anyway, Facebook is big, 50 million is big, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, Samsung, Sony, Twitter, Instagram, ...all the biggest and solidest internet companies they all got wacked/hacked, and on a permanent basis almost non-stop because hackers don't rest, ever. So if they want to stop hacking they have to work every single day in protecting their assets...client accounts. Or they simply don't or they think they do but never without any success.
It's the risk of driving on the internet highway, with toll boots @ every corner.
One Frenchman's way to put it personal opinion.
Some of you Star Trek fans? ...Hack me up Scotty.
