Any idea on how they did it? SQL hack?

Can't believe this hasn't recieved more press coverage. 4.5 million people's personal details stolen (inclusing password) and most of the media don't seem to care. I wonder how many people used the same password for moster and their email accounts.

This bunch of muppets seem to be doing everything they can to bury their heads. Havn't even sent out an email to tell people to change their other passwords. It makes me really angry.

They've stolen user names, passwords and some geographical data. They didn't get any CVs. Good thing I deleted all my details 2 years back
