Hackers "LulzSec" release journalist emails and passwords!

Hello, conspiracy theorists-

interestingly, some people actually have less secure passwords than i do.

 

This is a good example of why we get more government intrusion into every aspect of our lives.

 

I'm sure if our privacy laws include a damages clause where any web site that discloses, leaks or gets hacked and compromises its user info must pay each user $250 in damages to resecure all their info again these companies would see their data is kept secure.

Who stores passwords unencrypted?
