Nice contrast of "because the passwords were stored unencrypted, the long list of usernames and passwords were posted in text for all to see" and "at Yahoo! we take security very seriously and invest heavily in protective measures to ensure the security of our users and their data across all our products".

These companies, with huge resources, are always telling us how seriously they take our security and privacy after they fail to take the most basic measures. I call that criminal negligence and lies.
