Mathew's comments: Why the big fuss over some AOL data?

Matt, I think that privacy is the main issue here.. and not its fair to over react, because its possible to find out stuff about a users. Typical e.g NYT reveals ID and PIC of a user 4417749. This is a casual reverse engingeering effort in progress !!

Just imagaine what else , others can data mine within the data set ?? Our intiatl pentest boxes reveals a lot and interesting information !!
