While I’ve been following some news about how badly gawker’s web systems + user database(s) were compromised, and made public through open torrents; I have been wondering how many of my staff e-mail accounts/profiles were on the list?

Believe it or not I feel a little compromised too… my profile information was (I can expect) on the list, and apparently (1,237,900+) other profiles too. I fear the fall-out from this one incident could be for years to come. I will not even document what a bad person could do with this data.
