  Well they said that their database was compromised

No they didn't.

  I don't remember the particulars

Then why do you make such explicit claims about what happened? They spotted a traffic anomaly on their network and went into complete paranoid mode. It is completely unknown, even to them, whether someone unauthorized accessed their database or whether they just couldn't account for some traffic on their internal network.

I don't know anyone else that monitors the traffic on their network to detect unauthorized access and I know many companies that don't. That's already a huge plus and it makes me trust them with security in general all the more.
