Look at this Email I got from Best Buy today WTF
It's just the way it is these days.
I can't even remember the number of companies that have told me they have been compromised over the last 3-4 years.
I'm been saying this from the start. Sony's breach is very publicized, but it happens all the time. There's no reason to freak out, because frankly, it's common.

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobile

That does not mean they should not be held responsible for their lack of security.

I didn't say that at all. It is specifically a response to hysteria.

Dear Valued Best Buy Customer,
We have discovered that a former business partner's files containing the email addresses of some Best Buy customers were accessed without authorization. For your security, we wanted to call this matter to your attention.
We believe the only information taken was your email address, and that no other information was accessed. We do not believe that Best Buy was specifically targeted in this breach. We are continuing to investigate the situation, and are working closely with the appropriate officials to explore all possibilities.
We ask that you remain alert to incoming emails. Please be very cautious when opening links or attachments, even if they seem to come from legitimate sources. If you hover your cursor over a hotlink in an email and the URL that pops up makes you uncomfortable, it's probably best not to click on that site. We encourage you to visit www.ftc.gov/idtheft or www.staysafeonline.org for additional information about how to safeguard your personal data.
Remember: Best Buy will never ask you to provide or confirm any information, including credit card numbers, unless you are on our secure e-commerce site, www.bestbuy.com, or call us directly to place an order. If you receive an email asking for personal information, delete it. It did not come from Best Buy.
We take your privacy very seriously, and we will continue to work diligently to protect your personal information and improve our data security procedures on an ongoing basis. If you have concerns, please contact Best Buy at privacymanager@bestbuy.com.
Sincerely,
Barry Judge
Executive Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer
Best Buy
It really sucks you can't trust anyone with any of your personal info, It's not just Sony. people who don't care about you work everywhere and they won't protect whats yours things have taken a step in the worse direction. Its not going to get better. It's seems people just don't care about how they do their job and how it effects you. We have to protect ourselfs because the people who work at Sony, or Best buy or even the Governments of the world are not going to protect us.
