A lot of people are acting like this is the biggest hack ever.
It isn't like I posted earlier in this thread.
There have been bigger hacks in the last 5 years that stole more sensitive information ( like 100 million confirmed credit card accounts , some of them with SSN and personall information). This is just the one with the most publicity....
And it every previous case it took weeks if not months for the breach to be discovered and notified to people affected...
The biggest known case is Heartland which affected up to 100 millions credit cards and they are even sure when the breach started to occur...
Heck while you guys are all focusing on this, another huge breach happened less than a month ago at another company.
