As of this morning, unofficial sources are reporting that T-Mobile has acknowledged that some of its servers have in fact been compromised but it is still investigating the extent of the damages.

Okay so let's say that this is true and that thousands of T-Mobile subscribers' private information has been compromised. Will this breach be the tippingpoint that triggers massive action? After all, T-Mobile is in the networking business. If a company with the technical chops of T-Mobile is hacked, then banks, utilities, and government systems must be sitting ducks.
If you aren't frightened by this prospect, you should be. I for one hope that this breach and President Obama's recently announced cybersecurity initiative finally get the general public to realize just how vulnerable we are. I hate to sound like Chicken Little, but if we don't act soon, we may look back at the T-Mobile breach as a missed opportunity.
