Really? Theft is good?
People working there expected their personal information was properly encrypted. Now they're going to have their personal data and finances distributed world wide not because of their refusing to protect themselves, but because the employer didn't do so. And that's "a good thing" ?? Are you ****ing kidding?
Not a bit.
Eastern European programmers (gangs, really) are ripping Americans off to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars every year and the banks and credit card companies stay quiet about it to protect reputation.
High profile thefts like this, on the other hand, force action to be taken by those who provide web commerce.
Sorry for the victims, of course, but security evolution works in just this way.
We defeated the Japanese and Germans in WWII in part by breaking their codes. I doubt we could replicate that action today because of the evolution of military security.
