I was poking around their website, and found several methods of hijacking accounts, stealing user information, spamming, etc. I contacted them and they put me in touch with one of their security guys, Stoney something or other. They worked very quickly to fix the issues (ever notice you have to log in twice when doing many things?), and were really cool about it. I'm confident they're not as lax on security as USAJOBS was. Not to mention, they're probably not that big of a target. Think of the amount of personally identifiable information found on USAJOBS vice the non-essential information we have on our Military.com accounts.
