^ A letter from the company indicating that the company was infiltrated in some way, and what was stolen was related to their generation of 2-factor one-time keys (like a WoW authenticator, for example).

They are asking that their customers enable additional security measures instead of simply relying on RSA-built (or powered) 2-factor solutions.

Crazy times...

Well, I guess it's time to convert all my assets to Bitcoins.

On a serious note, I guess it's good our footballs are Vasco ones.  Like you implied, however, I'm sure Vasco could've just been the lucky ones to not get targeted -- or they were attacked and had better security measures protecting them, who knows?  This is going to be an extremely competitive market in the years to come and even the smallest slip up or oversight in security could potentially put any of these companies out of business.
