Financial Damage? Well, there is reputational/brand damage. Costs of defending themselves in litigation, costs of repair, costs of re-engineering systems, costs of PR responses, and so on. But actually, fuck that dude. Vodaphone isn't the victim really. I am. Now phishing emails sent to me will be better, and can include data that I previously used to verify legitimate emails. Now I have to sort out all my bank accounts and have new numbers issued. Now I have to think about how I deal with the fact that the answers to common security questions are in the "hackosphere" for sale. So no. I don't care about the financial damage. The guy has effectively sprawled graffiti on 2 million peoples lives, which they have to clean up. I'll reserve my sympathy for people who are at least are well intentioned...
