Submission + - Breaking: Swiss bank closes Wikileaks account (bbc.co.uk)

Submission + - Identity data theft - what would you do?

loccohombre writes: I recently received this email from the Henley Standard (a local news paper) advising me of a security breach that resulted in their subscription database being stolen. Whilst the incident is nowhere near the same league as government or credit-card data-slips that have occurred this year, the whole scenario of "cover our back-sides with solicitors first, then tell the punters", together with the general "you're on your own now" response, doesn't sit right with me. Should I pursue the company to find out how the breach occurred, seek redress or just chalk it up to experience?
