That sucks, another high profile company hit by hackers. Nothing online seems safe anymore.

A totally separate thing, but when we had the riots in London. The owner of Waterstones books was curious as to why they weren't targeted. He said something like "I surprised they didn't steal our books, they might have learnt something".

I am sorry, I just thought it was funny.
