Can you please name and shame, or at least link to a news article about this?

I'm going to be a little blunt, but the pattern of "there's a well-known company that's done something bad, you probably use their products, but I can't tell you what company because [I don't want to be deposed in a libel lawsuit / I want to feel intellectually superior]" is really long in the tooth, and doesn't add value to the discussion other than to pique everyone's paranoia.

Eh, screw it. It was Rackspace. I worked there, and was told this by a senior member of the infrastructure staff in a one on one. It was was fixed before I got there. They still have similarly bad security flubs.
