  > The company said email and password details were likely gathered either through malware downloaded during phishing attacks or indirectly through data breaches of other companies that stored Time Warner Cable's customer information, including email addresses. If the data was stolen through malware then this isn't TWC's fault. People just need more education on how to secure their computers.

    320,000 people didn't download malware. A privileged user at TWC did.

      And this seems to imply that the customer passwords stolen weren't properly salted/hashed/etc. If so, not the customers' fault.
