Another major data breech

It seems all too familiar when we hear about breeches in data. When our data falls into the wrong hands it is subject to loss of integrity and of course confidentiality. Recently, "Team GhostShell" has launched a massive attack against banks and politicians in some sort of protest, gaining access to more than one million personal accounts. They vow that this is only the beggining of their attacks too, with more attacks being planned for later in the year. It appears as though SQL injection was the favored method of attack.

What this article proves is that CyberSecurity is absolutely essential in today's world and that more focus needs to be placed in this area in order to catch up with the ever-increasing world of cyber technology. Right now, I believe that the level of technology far outweighs the level of security to protect the technology. It's like leaving your home unlocked and expecting no one to take anything. Of course, that was a bit of a dramatic scenario but I think the point has been made. What kinds of ways do all of you propose that we better safeguard information than we are currently doing?
