When you don't like the message and can't answer it, the best method is to ridicule the messenger. It's been used for centuries as a method to divert attention away from the real issue.
For instance look at all the good points made in The Usual Suspect's post and the focus is on CC numbers. No focus on the fact that this problem was brought up a long time ago, denied, ignored and even threats of C&Ds being sent to people who had found the problem. Go see Milan from OC3 post on the subject.
Then there was the easethe hacker was found, IP addresses, login times identified and the fact the hacker was using a TMM admin password. Seems TMM with the warnings could not find the problem. Incompetent or deliberate?
John Albright stated that "at risk clients" were previously warned. Have we seen any?
However as you said a lot of people would rather the these questions were not asked and that we all forget about it. Watch for those attacking me and not answering the real questions.
