Last year, some of Silicon Valley\u2019s biggest companies experienced the largest, most damaging security breaches they had ever known, opening up their private networks to hackers from the U.S. to China \u2014 along with the personal, private data of millions nationally and internationally.<\/p>\n

Apple, Twitter, Microsoft and Facebook \u2014 among numerous others \u2014 were the victims of major hacks, some of which exposed the private data of up to 2 million users at one time. Many of those users has their information published publicly online.<\/p>\n

And they weren\u2019t the only ones \u2014 major media outlets including the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal and Associated Press found out just how insecure their security was \u2014 exposing data on anonymous sources and even publishing false news reports online.<\/p>\n

The ever-constant leap of digital technological advancement is quickly leaving the traditional methods of online, Internet-based security behind. Many of the mainstream methods employed by web presences use security practices that, in their original form, date back 10 years or more.<\/p>\n

The following WhoIsHostingThis<\/a> chart breaks down some of the biggest hacks of 2013, explaining how hackers got in, what they were after, and how companies took subsequent measures to keep it from happening again.<\/p>\n
