We don't know the whole story here but it looks like Bangalore was a 1st tier center that escalated this issue to someone in US for further investigation. Sounds to me like the problem was in US.
Target is most likely using a 'Follow the sun' model, so if the alert happened at night (in the US) the Bangalore security team would have been monitoring at the time.
Maybe they're just fucking idiots, with an IT department that either is utterly inept or had been so marginalized by MBA morons and sociopaths.

Knowing Comcast, Wi-fi use probably applies to your bandwidth limit as well.
Well.. even if you're just making a joke, I'm not talking about anything as cosmetic as that, and I'm not even talking about XP, but I think you know that.
It was a joke. My first reaction to Windows XP was that it looked like it was designed by Fisher-Price.
