#Antisec hackers release 10GB of law enforcement data | Ubergizmo
Two hackavist groups, Anonymous & Lulzsec, have acquired 10 gigabytes of police information. Here's a paragraph from the linked article:
"The leak contains hundreds of compromising email spools, personal information about officers, police training videos, contents of insecure anonymous tip systems, over 300 mail accounts from 56 law enforcement domains, the Missouri Sherriff account dump (7000+ usernames, passwords, home address, phones and SSNs), online police training academy files, Plesk plaintext server passwords, the “report a crime” snitch list compilation and stolen credit card information from the mosherriffs.com online store."
It's a double-edged sword. We place data online so it can be more accessible and share-able with those who need it but at the same time can be jeopardized if groups are persistent enough. So far there hasn't been any successful attacks on Google's cloud-based information storage. Read more:

Widespread Hijacking of Search Traffic in the United States | Electronic Frontier Foundation

MS-DOS is 30 years old today | ExtremeTech
Happy Birthday DOS! We've spent some wonderful times together.
I have a funny story relating to DOS. A customer brought me her computer and said it was broken. I opened up the "homemade" computer and checked all the parts. After verifying all components were operable, I plugged in the keyboard, mouse, and monitor and fired it up. Up comes my friendly C:\> prompt. The only problem she had was that DOS was it's operating system and not Windows and she had no idea how to use it.
