ISC2 Hacked? Batten down your hatches

Ok, I cannot be the only person in the world who thinks this is ironic and amusing. The International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium, Inc. (ISC2) has had some of its websites go down recently. One can only presume they were hacked, since both of the websites were set up to be portals -- one for registering to teach internet safety to kids and another to vote for an awards program. 


The ISC2 issues the most prestigious certifications offered in the field of information security- the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP, which has specializations in architecture, engineering and management), a certification which I hold, the Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP), Certified Authorization Professional (CAP), Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP).


If the ISC2 people can get hacked ANYBODY can get hacked. If they aren't secure, NOBODY is secure. If you have important information, back it up and encrypt it. Just sayin.
