Plentyoffish CEO: We Were Hacked, Almost Extorted ? So I Emailed The Hacker?s Mom

The title of strangest WTF story of my morning is Plentyoffish CEO Markus Frind recounting how his online dating site got hacked, he and his wife were harassed and someone clumsily attempted to extort his company in the aftermath of the events. If that is in fact what happened ... First up, Frind points out that the site has indeed been hacked last week in a "well planned and sophisticated attack". Apparently, email addresses, usernames and passwords were downloaded, although Frind does not say how many. Plentyoffish has already reset the passwords for all users and claims to have plugged the security hole that allowed the hackers to enter.
