I'm more shocked that there were 57 million accounts for Hot Topic. People. Stop giving your information to companies that have nothing to do with your personal data.
- I mean, if they’re burner email addresses, fake names etc. provided to take advantage of promotions - then it really doesn’t matter.
  
  If anything, it’s a good thing to salt the dataset to make it less valuable to would-be ne’er-do-wells.
  
  I agree wholeheartedly, but how many on that list do you think are actually burners, and how many are kids?
I wonder if this includes all the user data they got when they bought ThinkGeek?
They're still around ? I haven't been In 20 years. I really hope I can find a replacement for my what used to be a vintage transformers shirt. .. And maybe some goth accessories.
