Let us tenderly and kindly cherish, therefore, the means of knowledge. Let us dare to read, think, speak, and write.

This definitely shows that databases need to be updating their security. These chinese hackers are getting access to things that they should not be able to access.

I would agree. In the past election defense was a topic discussed often and I think it is important to note in our modern times with technology at a premium it is more important than ever to not only focus on our physical defense but our internal defense

Thanks to technology, we are able to access and store massive amounts of data. I think a scandal such as this is a reminder that the security of the data is just as important as access of it. Databases should be constantly updating their security.

If hackers can easily break into databases such as The New York Times, it makes me wonder how soon it will be until they can break into higher security databases such as credit card companies, banks, and others that have more personal information.

Funds should be going toward updating our database securities. New York Times reporters have a whole lot of data that needs to be more secure and if someone is able to hack into the system, then I'm sure they could hack into something more important.

companies need to start raising the standards of security of their networks otherwise hackers are going to start having more control over the United States posing threats to its citizens
