As an end user, I could not care less about how robust the underlying architecture is or who inside the EA hierarchy is screwing things up. Bottomline is, weak passwords are being stored as unsalted md5 hashes, which is problematic.

1. The tone MUST have been apologetic. 2. The error is presented like casual news. Sort of downplaying the incident and not acknowledging that they screwed up. If the accounts were freely accessible for 4 odd hours, it is pretty serious.
