Sadly you are exactly right. I wish companies would put both of these things first. Why so often does one have to come at the expense of the other? Yes i know

Yes i know this is "naive" thinking, but i also think its the kind of thinking that can change a company for the better. Would it be easy? No. But in the end it its use the users that have to not think so critically of these "political pitfalls"(my words). Hacking happens, time and time again this stuff happens. If twitter(or another company) took measures to protector there users and didn't do something completely stupid like keeping plain text info, we should all just take what happened for what it is and move on. With these situations coming more and more common we are going to have to do this anyways.
- taf2 14y agoOr it could have actually just been discovered today. It's too easy to sit from afar and assume the worst. Maybe sometimes things just happened this way. Maybe the "bad" people involved in the attack figured if they got away with it less people would be looking on a weekend so they could get further. Just saying... it's easy to assume "big" companies do what's best for them aways... but really they're just a bunch of people trying in most cases to do the right thing. So, before you click "fire" on that enter key... think about it.. there are people on the receiving end... probably a lot like you.
- ianstormtaylor 14y agoI don't think they would have said "this week" if they could have gotten away with "today". "Today" sounds a lot less dangerous, prolonged, etc.
- taf2 14y agoToday could be really bad if they discovered later that the attack had been going on longer tomorrow... never know which way the spin or reporting is taking the real story once it hits print...
