Longread #1 -- Hacked! -- 1/3/12

Happy New Year!

In the interest of sharing good reading, here's your first ever dose of Eric's Daily Longread.

"Hacked" by James Fallows
Published in The Atlantic, November 2011
This is an eye-opening account of what can happen when a hacker gets control of someone's GMail account. For those of us who rely heavily on the cloud for email and other services, it's a real wake-up call. Since an ounce of prevention goes a long way, one of my big goals for 2012 is to do a better job of adhering to simple, commonsense ways of protecting my important info online. I think after reading this article, you'll want to do the same.

Check back tomorrow (and every business day) for a new daily longread!
