Heh... From the Beeb:
Russia cyber attack: Large hack 'hits government'
A "professional" cyber attack has hit Russian government bodies, the country's intelligence service says.
A "cyber-spying virus" was found in the networks of about 20 organisations, the Federal Security Service (FSB) said.
The report comes as Russia stands accused over data breaches involving the Democratic Party in the US.
The Russian government has denied involvement and has denounced the "poisonous anti-Russian" rhetoric coming out of Washington.
Punching back twice as hard. For 20 organizations to be penetrated, there must be some commonality on how their security is implemented. Passwords are only the first link in a long chain - there are other links that can be weak as well.
