On: Plenty Of Fish Hacked – Chris Russo’s explains how...

[nailer]

I understand what you're saying, but do you have any information that this is how the site owner began the conversation?

I imagine we're seeing a small snippet of something larger.

I also see the security company guy doesn't dispute that his revelation the site was cracked began with a push for payment to remedy the situation.

No idea, really. It sounds as if Russo denies having any data, in which case I struggle coming up with a good reason for POF to issue the warning. But ultimately, I really only know what is written in the two articles. I guess time will tell.

I don't get that impression - I imagine that if he didn't have any data, he'd say so explicitly. If he didn't have data, though, I'd totally agree with your observations.

Indeed.
