I meant, "How was this news breaking all at once". :) The report is several thousand accounts, across three major services, and the news is breaking all at once.

That said, what we don't know could be something as simple as some attacker just published their list of accumulated stolen credentials for several services. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
