The GP is asking what is being hacked.
He is making a snarky comment about the word "hack" being utterly
misused by the media.
Compare:
http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/H/hack.html
and
http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/C/cracker.html
The article is not about account hacking, as that would be something like
building an email client that gives the appearence of being a facebook clone.
The article is about account cracking (as in "to crack a safe").[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I must assume that in the US, the Computer Crime branch of
the Government are working hard to catch these people since
trying to break into a person's computer accounts is a
serious crime in the US. Perhaps a little wishfull thinking
here, but one would only hope.
