Online dating site Plenty of Fish hacked


That site just looked too shady to me anyway...

It says that some kid in Argentina hacked it and had access to a bunch of accounts, including internal databases.

It also goes to say the hacker did it just to expose and inform the owner of the security weakness and offered his services to help protect it better.

The owner supposedly has major Russian-mafia connections and is threatening to "do something" about it.

Then I will call you! I used to have what I thought was a Russian mafia fund, which I expected to do OK! The damn fund is still 78% down since I bought it (maybe '06 or '07)! Even now! What mafia ARE you if you can't make money out of gas, for Pete's sake?!
