Bush family e-mail accounts hacked

   On friday, february 8, 2013 The Washington Post ,published an article named "Bush family e-mail accounts hacked" that was written by David Fahrenthold and Rachel Weiner. The article talks about that Former president George H.W. Bush and his family, were victims of a computer hacker. The hackers gained access to confidential emails and also conversations that the president had with friends and family. The article states that "The Secret Service is investigating a hacker's apparent theft of a trove of personal e-mails and photos belonging to the bush family after the material was posted late thursday by Smoking Gun Web site.A report by Smoking Gun said the e-mails covered the period from 2009 to 2012, and that a total of six accounts appeared to have been compromised"
   I believe this is a important topic because it talks about how even someone important as the former president could get hacked. Electronic nowadays cant be trusted. People should be careful when posting things freely online. People could get hacked and their personal things could be stolen.This could bring up the topic of electronic direct democracy. How former president George H.W. Bush was hacked, makes for a source to the topic of electronic direct democracy. It shows how america isnt ready to have electronics expand so much to the U.S. This article is important to show people that we should be more secure of our personal things and may even bring the government attention that electronic in voting can be corrupted as well.
