entire Gawker membership database hacked
The Gawker Network is composed of the following sites: Lifehacker, Gizmodo, Gawker, Jezebel, io9, Jalopnik, Kotaku, Deadspin, and Fleshbot.
A 500MB torrent was posted on PirateBay. It had every username + email + password, along with a shit ton of server and admin information too. (server info = Sony, Rockstar, LucasArts FTP)
Apparently, the president of the Gawker Network mouthed off to 4Chan and dared them to hack their site. 2 months later, done deal.

People need to learn when to keep their stupid mouths shut.

I do however have an issue with publishing the info of ALL members. I mean, i have nothing to do with the stupid coments made by the president of that company... Don't publish my info. Publish all the employees info ifyou want. But not the members info. And if you want to publish it to make a point. At least issue public warning that the info will be published so that password can be changed before being leaked everywhere. 4chan could try to gain public support...

Take angst with the Gawker president for running his mouth. This is all on him and that management team for picking an unnecessary fight.
