“But we also hope they understand we are doing everything we can to protect them from further harm.”
Poor people... have their SSN compromised, feeling violated (bordering to "raped" in one meaning of the term) and asked for understanding with promises of "best effort" towards a better future.
However... are the East European hackers the primary cause of their situation?
That's a rhetorical question and you know it. It would be better for you to answer it yourself.
Somebody raised the question in a non-rhetorical manner. A suggestion of my position in this matter. If you'd like, let's close this thread and continue the discussion on the other one.
Why, that's obvious! You know that Europeans speak French, don't you? Therefore it must be a parish somewhere in Louisiana. Failing that, it's sure in Canada.

Ah, the irony! Selling cucumbers to the gardener, ice to Eskimos and coal to Newcastle.
I bought last week one Android tablet for less than $200, postage (by UPS express) included. From mainland China. I'm pretty sure Brazil (being a good chum with China in BRICS and dropping USD as the trade currency) would be able to buy at much cheaper prices.
I don't want to believe we don't stand a chance. We have to keep fighting.
Start by signing the petitions on EFF and avaaz.org sites. Then spread the word.
Also, you may want to consider setting up a Tor bridge using Amazon free tier (if you can't afford to pay $30 a month to sponsor a more permanent one)... just in case.
The oligarchies of the world do a fair job of controlling media, but they can't control blogs or twitter. They need governments to make sure they can do this for them.
twitter is not representative (thus rather irrelevant). Let me demonstrate by googling on:
CISPA - 1540 results
SOPA - About 673,000 results
lady gaga - About 5,020,000 results
bieber - About 8,030,000 results
pr0n (about 42,100 results) + porn (about 2,070,000 results) - an "total about" of 2,112,100 (what???).
Everybody knows Internet is for porn and the rule 34. Now, you cannot argue that porn is less popular than Lady Gaga or Bieber - therefore Twitter must be non-representative.
Now, I tell you what you can do to prove me wrong (don't bother replying to this post, it's equally irrelevant): just sign the petitions on EFF and avaaz.org. Even better, open or sign a petitions on the We, the people site. Then, of course, twit about it and prove me wrong.
So long as all law is made solely to restrict people and _never_to recagnize rights or prevent abuses such as this, it will just be attempt after attempt until a given law passes. It is absolutely inevitable.
It may appear that you also missed the boat in signing a petition on "We the people" (I can't, not being in US). Maybe it's time to start a new one and promote it better?

Once you have government, and law, and an economy, most people do not want to earn their living by risking being shot at.
And yet the US military employs about 3 million soldiers.
When I think of US, I don't know why, it is not the economy but the debt that pops into my mind. Granted, there are some signs of improvement and, GDP percentage-wise, others are much worse.
U've tried it & failed 4 decades since "the year of Linux" is never going to happen on PC's + Servers combined @ both home user & corporate environs levels. U FAILED.
While the pesticide stuff is pretty obvious, I'm more skeptical about the HFCS link, especially if they're claiming its Monstanto GMO corn causing it. Or something silly. Yes, sugar is a poison, and HFCS is vile, but it's going to take another few studies to convince me.
RTFA, there's nothing about Monsanto. In short, it says: "LD50 is no longer enough to assess the toxicity of a substance... neonicotinoid pesticides were found to impact the bees homing ability, so they get lost and die of exhaustion".
U get "insta-downmodded" due to facts penguins cannot handle!
All I said: you cannot call linux on server a failure... and I said nothing about your beloved Windows. Keep it, be excited with it, but don't ask me to consider the list above as relevant for the discussion about the merit or failure of linux on its own.
Now mate, go back under the bridge you popped up and... handle something more relevant than the already stale "Get the facts campaign" (I'd suggest a wanking type of move for your handling)!
It's as much Linux as an Xbox is a Windows platform.
Just for the challenge... one of this days I'm going to write a simple application (I don't know, maybe involving some fork/exec and file I/O to hit some syscalls as old as UNIX), cross-compile it on my lubuntu for the ARM in my recently bought tablet, put it on a SD-card and attempt to execute it on the tablet...
Good chances it will work. If it will, would it be proof enough for you that Android is a Linux?
Android's a Linux that's being "torn up" 4 security. See subject-line & what you quoted also: What you quote specifically notes PC's & Servers combined
You mean the already irrelevant niche for the home user - in which the mobile devices outnumbers the PC-es?

well.. tell that to youtube. it's still blocking blackfellas guide to nyc.
you see, you don't actually need to own the copyright to sell the copyright! all you have to do is convince the buyer that you have the copyright. and you can takedown just about anything by just saying you have copyright.
I only see that youtube blocks it, but not acting as a buyer. Do you have info that youtube paid something to Tanya Steel? If so, may I kindly ask you to table it?
Not to worry, the chick can turn around, sell 'her' copyright to a studio here in the States, then that studio will take the guy to court and bankrupt his great great grandkids.
Following this judgment, she has nothing that she owns to sell. I bet the studios will stay quite far from her.

The cynic in me says the hackers will be held responsible.
Seconded.

"This is SOPA being passed in smaller chunks."
So long as all law is made solely to restrict people and _never_to recagnize rights or prevent abuses such as this, it will just be attempt after attempt until a given law passes. It is absolutely inevitable.
The very reason the people should use whatever legal influence they have to show support in delaying (if not stopping) such laws, every time they try to pass them:
petition at Electronic Frontier Foundation
petition at avaaz

But you prove his point...
I admit, I'm dumb, I fail to get it... exactly what his point would be?
Android's a Linux that's being "torn up" 4 security. See subject-line & what you quoted also: What you quote specifically notes PC's & Servers combined
You mean the already irrelevant niche for the home user - in which the mobile devices outnumbers the PC-es?
Also, I think you shouldn't shout that loud about the failure of Linux on the server, you may cause a market crash if some of the following decide to enter voluntary administration when they hear you qualifying as failures the followings: Google internal infrastructure, NASA and the other major users of OpenStack, IBM and other modern supercomputer builders, VMWare baremetal virtualization products, NYSE and London Stock Exchange...
