RE: Have you ever been hacked?

in Ask the Hive4 months ago

Personally, no, I have not been hacked. However, several years ago at the library, a co-worker fell for a spoof site and compromised their work email, leading the IT department (basically one overworked guy for the whole district) to mandate password changes and basic security training for all staff after he cleaned up the mess of spam and such.

Moral of the story: it's often easier to hack any network by fooling people than writing code or brute-forcing passwords.
