658 Million Reasons Why Consumer Security is Corporate Security
The other shoe has dropped in Time Warner AOL's massive security breach (A O HELL is Back). A class action lawsuit has been filed in San Francisco, which asks $1,000 in damages per user. That would amount to $658 million for all affected AOL members.

AOL posted the search requests of 658,000 AOL subscribers made between March and May to a research website. AOL fired its chief technology officer and two employees after the resulting publicity firestorm.
