I guess that's true, but we are still talking MILLIONS here.

And I believe passwords were protected, hence the reason why nobody had their account stolen after the hack. And then there is what happens after, you can't just instantly process 100 million passwords, the hackers would leave themselves wide open to being caught aswell.

I wasn't talking about if the hackers got rich or not, I was talking about how much it has affected me. And the only way it affected me was that I couldn't play online for 3 weeks.


Passwords were plain text. Only CC numbers were encrypted. Also the hackers wouldn't be wide open to being caught, everything they do is almost certainly behind a screen of proxy addresses and suchlike making them exceptionally difficult to track down.
