    The average company is one bad click, misplaced password or disgruntled employee away from getting hacked.

    At Sony Pictures, the company basically put out the welcome mat for hackers.

    Leaked documents show that Sony employees kept lists of passwords in spreadsheets on their computers. Also, employees kept the Social Security numbers of 47,426 people -- including Conan O'Brien and Sylvester Stallone -- lying around in unencrypted files. That's extremely reckless.

    The Sony Pictures mega-hack, chock-full of erased computers and exposed documents, is only the latest example of how hackers can attack companies' computer networks with frightening ease.
