Russian hackers ... my guess is they're white hat

    The Russian hackers responsible for stealing 1.2 billion internet credentials have been described as Russian men in their 20s. Knowing Russian guys in their 20s, I suspect their motivation was not financial. More along the lines of "can we do it" and "let's get them all to change their passwords". And obviously we should. I think they believe they're doing us a service. I'd be much more concerned had it been a government (lke China's PLA hackers), or known criminal organization.
