the article seems to suggest that the hackers had access to stolen data, Target comes to mind within the US. Did Target share the hacked data to the FBI so the feds can cross check with the data irs released and send the offending company the bill before we pick up the pieces.

If the hackers had access to data outside the US, then it may have to be us the taxpayers, unfortunately.
