Or it could have actually just been discovered today. It's too easy to sit from afar and assume the worst. Maybe sometimes things just happened this way.

Maybe the "bad" people involved in the attack figured if they got away with it less people would be looking on a weekend so they could get further.

Just saying... it's easy to assume "big" companies do what's best for them aways... but really they're just a bunch of people trying in most cases to do the right thing. So, before you click "fire" on that enter key... think about it.. there are people on the receiving end... probably a lot like you.



I don't think they would have said "this week" if they could have gotten away with "today". "Today" sounds a lot less dangerous, prolonged, etc.


Today could be really bad if they discovered later that the attack had been going on longer tomorrow... never know which way the spin or reporting is taking the real story once it hits print...
