47. Re: Epic Hacked Jun 12, 2011, 10:53 Domgrief
 
I'm fascinated that the views on this are so polarised.

Whoever was responsible for the security of Epic's websites had the sense to encrypt the passwords, to limit the amount of personal data kept at the edge of the network, and to take the appropriate response as soon as an intrusion was detected.

We don't have enough information to know whether this was the result of a lazy network administrator, but it's not hard to believe that the servers could have been compromised even if Epic had taken reasonable measures to keep them secure.
