we are kind of the media.. and reddit is too.. I also believe that they made a fatal error by not selling everything for $3bn then jumping aboard. To not have anything to do with the "soon to come security issues". I mean they could have mentioned it and downplay it as they did just recently. I don't think that the new owner would take security more serious than them.
For us it was really really good that he rejected the offer! Because otherwise we would see the trade market crash $3bn, guess who would have to pay loss.. we..
well, if he saw that coming, which I doubt, he would be a hero.

I don't know about that. Their dismissal was (at least framed as) "well that's a lot of data, so it's not going to happen!"
Actual excerpt from their blog, on the 27th: "Theoretically, if someone were able to upload a huge set of phone numbers, like every number in an area code, or every possible number in the U.S., they could create a database of the results and match usernames to phone numbers that way."
