I can see why they do not want to notify their customers and set off alarm bells but guys are having their accounts attacked and many may not know yet that they have been affected, may not ever know. But they should stand up (its hard and takes courage) and do their dammed best to help their customers protect themselves. Not doing a thing as people get their accounts emptied shows what a swine the dill steering the ship really is. I'm not suggesting they pay monies to anyone who has been done over, just that they inform customers of what has happened to empower them to button down the hatches. This is what ANY reputable organisation does these days, they send an email to all their customers notifying them of the breach and offer suggested security recommendations for customers to take. They would know what happened when and what customers are potentially at risk. Keeping this info hush hush speaks a volume about their principles of doing business. Nothing I am saying will match the damage they are inflicting on themselves.
15,000 people will be notified next week. Every CC Company, Wells Fargo, the State Attorney Generals office in 40+ states, the Secret Service, FTC, the local Police Dept and some people I'm forgetting have been notified. And below is what is posted on the web site. It's been a busy 2 weeks.

I'm not even attempting to imply that it is sufficient, I can't win at that. But it's not a rug that we've swept it under.
No one is as unhappy about this as we are, I can guarantee that.
