      Edit: we're actually off the hook due to timing. Which is a relief but also literally these services are used by already vulnerable people.

    This is a monumental breach and I do hope they sued for this. Twelve months of free Kroll services isn't going to suffice when they're taking some of these details.

    This is extremely tangential, but is anyone else infuriated by the URL encoding of the article's title? Tildes does it right: "impacting 1.2 million" → "impacting_1_2_million"....

    bleepingcomputer.com does "impacting-12-million"

    Who in the world doesn't consider periods as separators?
