Lockheed Martin and RSA

I am studying for me Security+ certificate (should test next week) and am reading the cryptography chapter.  I enjoy reading the news and my education was through the case-study method.  Is there anyone willing to discuss the implications of the breech and apply Security+ to the publicly available information as a case study?  I have worked in the IT field for almost 10 years and have led development efforts for software that incorporates security models.
