"In the spirit of transparency". Right, Apple.

  In the spirit of transparency, we're giving you vague warning that some information might have been accessed _4 days ago_

    That's not a long time to receive a letter like this. That's as fast as Apple instantly responds to anything, esp. considering the weekend. And the site was down, so it was clear something was going on. It is also extremely transparent in the sense that people were wondering this exact thing even earlier today, and now received a response detailing that this is an extremely severe breach, as opposed to something else. What more do you want on a Sunday?

      Well I'm giving them a hard time due to the massive schadenfreude, obviously. Still, this is very vague about what the 'sensitive personal information' is (passwords?), what was encrypted, what was hashed, was it using a proper hashing scheme, etc. And announcing it just because people have started to speculate is damage control, not taking responsibility.

        >> "And announcing it just because people have started to speculate is damage control, not taking responsibility." It's possible it took them a few days to figure out exactly what was taken and waited until they had as much info as possible to make a statement. I doubt Apple would be following blogs during a situation like this with someone making the decision: "oh, people have started to speculate about what's happening - I think we should make a statement."

        Shadenfreude? Do you mean something other than just enjoying their misfortune? And 'taking responsibility' means solving the problem. They have told us what they are dealing with. What more do you want from them?
