Hackers steal IDs from FLA gun permit database

Story here. Apparently they got 16,000 files, which is described as 1% of the total (1.6 million permits?)

The reality is that no one can protect any public facing database from hackers. So the intelligent to do is if you have to have a database don't have it public facing! But remember I said Intelligent. And yes there should be no DB in the first place.
Leave it to the government to do a great job providing criminals with all the info needed. If government didn't claim the authority to require the people to obtain a permit simply to exercise our rights, these databases would not exist and then could not be hacked. Government strikes again. If you want to fuk things up, let government do it.
