Well isn't that nice to know!

From MSNBC comes a story about another break in at a consumer data warehouse comes this choice quote:


Using misappropriated passwords and identification from legitimate
customers, intruders got access to personal information on as many as
32,000 U.S. citizens in a database owned by LexisNexis, the company's
corporate parent said Wednesday.

...

The company played down the effect of the security breach on its
profits, reaffirming its target of higher earnings and at least 5
percent growth in revenues excluding acquisitions.



Well that's good to know! I'd hate to think that this breach of
sensitive information could cause any inconvenience to the company and
its bottom line.
