[ale] "hacked" (was: gmail then Google Apps hacked)

[justin caratzas]

Correct me if I'm wrong Jim, but I think he means we need to separate a
service being hacked from an individual account being hacked.

In this case, an account was hacked, and boo-hoo on the account holder for
picking loose security questions, or whatever it was.  GMail as a service
was not hacked, which in that case it would affect everyone.
