Hackers Break Into California Computers

Does it make you feel better to know that not even California Governor Gray Davis is immune from possible identity theft? It appears that on April 7th, hackers broke into a California state computer system that houses the names, social security numbers, and maybe even bank information for 260,000 state employees รณ including Gov. Gray Davis and his staff. It’s not clear if the hackers took anything or have used the information to commit identity theft. The servers have since been patched to keep this from happening again. Right.
