The hackers didn't want NY Times subcriber info, accounts, etc.

Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, February 01 2013 @ 03:58 PM EST

However, even if this data was exposed - where a breach happened, NY Times might
have to spend up to $240 per subscriber if that data was exposed - paying to
alert them, and buying a year of credit monitoring. That is standard.

Then, need to notify each subscriber's State Attorney General's office that a
citizen of the state had been exposed. AND, then if customers were damaged
somehow, then there is a whole legal mess to deal with. Could be at least $240
per customer, or higher? However, if that data was on another system, was not
connected at all to the network or the internet, then if isolated from any harm
without ANY wiring connnecting the systems, might not have any exposure.
