I'd like to point out that this is almost ALWAYS the problem. People ALWAYS get hacked, not because they use "love123" as their passwords, not because their pc/mac wasn't up to date.

Nope. They get hacked because the security question ask for a pet name, or a school name, or a friend name. Freaking easy. They get hacked because support gives information without authenticating people.And so on.

Dear companies, stop doing that. Thanks.

You can add in there passwords not being secured properly by application developers too ... probably the biggest source of being hacked.
