...than the hack itself is the lack of cooperation from ISPs used by the hackers. They don't seem to care that illegal activity is taking place on their network. Whether the attack originates from their network or the network hosts the web page or DNS records, they ignore requests for action.
Happens all the time. I've seen servers compromised with no attempt to harvest email addresses, ecommerce data, or passwords. Most of these "hackers" are script kiddies that use automated tools to locate and compromise servers. Once they're in, they don't really know what to do next to take full advantage of their access. Hooray for amateurs.
To add insult to injury, I get tons of snail mail for other people too. My house used to be split into upstairs and downstairs apartments. Apparently, some shady characters used to live there. I've received overdue notices from hospitals, court summons, magazine subscriptions, and more. After owning the house for 3.5 years now, I'm still getting other peoples mail. I have no interest in tracking down the old occupants, and the post office doesn't seem to give a crap.
I see no privacy threat here. Do people really think they're going to waste this thing average people on the street? Doubt it. Miami is a huge port for drug smuggling. The drone will probably be used in the War on Drugs in Miami.
...I'm going to place my order for Zen Magnets as soon as they're back in stock. Must resist the temptation to send Jake Bronstein a nasty email. Sue because you make an inferior product? Here's a quarter, Jake. Go buy a clue.
Facebook has always been the mayor of useless crap. Ever heard of Farmville or Mafia Wars. By the way, if you were a superhero, which one would you be?
Sounds like an interesting career. What are the education, work experience, etc. requirements? Do you have to participate in a hack-off competition against a 13 year old script kiddie?
When I had jury duty 4 or 5 years ago, they took away all electronic devices when we entered the jury room to deliberate. The door was guarded by a bailiff, and she accompanied us to lunch.

A lady in New York sent me pictures of her new purse.
The film crew for the movie The Fighter sent me info about the shooting schedule and on-set parking issues.
I receive flight and car rental reminders for guy in Phoenix.
I've even received bills from a pool company and electrician in North Carolina.
The worst was a California photographer that signed up with numerous photography companies at a trade show.
Sometimes it's it interesting, but mostly it sucks. I unsubscribe where possible and delete the rest.

When I was on a jury, the judge refused to give us a dictionary during deliberations. Why?
Don't poke the bear. You have be stupid or cocky to taunt hackers.
The 1 Gallon of Milk product and it's reviews are legendary.
...to punch him in the balls? PLEASE!
...to hate the Micro$oft.
Step 1: Sync bookmarks across browsers and platforms.
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit!
Tip of the hat to the underpants gnomes.

It's fast blah blah blah. It's elegant blah blah blah. IS IT SECURE YET?!?
Same goes for text messaging. Pricing is actually going up.
...to ignore this. I am SO over Facebook.

ZIP+4 identifies individual mail drops - house, apartment, PO Box, etc. Has PRIZM been doing this for years already?
Good. Maybe we'll finally be able to put this Facebook experiment to rest.
Genius. I might help send those spams.
...Now my wife will misspell every word in the dictionary even faster.

Do the man-eating birds have large talons? N.D.
Maybe she won't 'yell' at her boss next time.
