>“Just to clear this up,” Cracka tweeted on Thursday about the breach of the JABS database. “CWA did, indeed, have access to everybody in USA’s private information, now imagine if we was Russia or China.”

If this is true, I'm a little surprised and disappointed. The U.S. can spend trillions on its military conflicts around the world, but can't do good cyber security? Even when handled with the highest precision, a massive cyber security team would be much less costly than building warships and the next space-age jet fighter, surely. How is it possible for a country with the resources of the U.S. to miss such important areas of technological security, such that a team of "crackas", as they call themselves, can come along and exploit it? Is awareness of the needs of the digital age really so far behind the technology itself?
