I’m cheering for the hackers in this scenario.

Hahahaha.

I usually despise hackers, (and the jackasses in upper management that don't permit IT to properly secure systems), but in this case, I love it.

Wish they'd release more and drive TM out of business, maybe that would be the event that gets all these shitty companies to finally improve IT security.
