    Websites usually are on different servers, its not hard to hack into those. Most of the account data is on a seperate server, encrypted with secure connections. This server does not contain the webpages. If they didn't state accounts were compromised I wouldn't worry about it

    Yupp...There is no security man.. Hackers are very smarter and intelligent people. I am knowing somebody who is hacking Avg 20-25 PayPal accounts with credit card attached to it every month..

    So nothing is secured dude ;)

    They aren't hacking anything, they are phishing them. No knowledge is needed to convince someone to give you their username and password. Or they use spyware to obtain it, that takes ZERO knowledge, they are called script kiddies.
