[ NNSquad ] Major security breach at VUDU


Major security breach at VUDU

http://j.mp/149Fj9R  (The Next Web)

    "On March 24, 2013, there was a break in at the VUDU office and a
     number of items were stolen, including hard drives. These hard drives
     contained customer data including names, email addresses, mailing
     addresses, account activity, dates of birth, and encrypted passwords,
     but NO full credit card numbers. We are proactively retiring and
     resetting all passwords and notifying all customers. As another level
     of protection for customers we are also providing AllClear ID identity
     protection services. We reported the theft to law enforcement
     immediately, and are cooperating fully with their investigation."

And the reason it took more than two weeks to make this announcement?
