No it isn’t! The headline they used is “Protecting Our Customers - Standing Up to Extortionists.” My issue with it is that they word their announcement in a way that leads people to congratulate them instead of saying we’re sorry for leaking your private information. I’m so angry at them over this.

Additionally the email they sent me had the subject “important notice” and that my personal account was affected as the third sentence in a rather wordy paragraph. None of this is ok and this is not a company taking this seriously.
