And in other news... 

"The company collected too much personal information, kept it too long and relied on weak encryption technology to protect it – putting the privacy of millions of its customers at risk,"

And in other news, a bear was caught defecating in the woods, and the Pope has been accused of exhibiting catholic tendencies.

Damn obvious... 

This is the same shop that used WEP to protect their wireless networks. And we need an investigation by the Canadian privacy commissioner to find that?
