    The hacking group claims that their intention is to expose the danger of massive surveillance. If they are so intent on exposing the danger of massive surveillance, why don't they try to hack the camera surveillance system of China? Their surveillance system is 100X if not more pervasive and invasive than that of us. Are they able to? No. IMO all it exposes is 1) the seriously lacking of security of the surveillance system and 2) the danger of hacking.

    It's really time to strengthen the security of the whole network of United States. Looks like it's wide open everywhere. It's good that this is just a local hacking group that's doing this.

  5. You can assume all your personal information is out on the internet. No one takes security seriously and since there are no repercussions I do not expect anything to change.

    Sure they do. Once their passwords "password" and "123456" are hacked, people wisen up.

    They change them to "passwords" and "234567".
