In a twist of fate that copyright owners are sure to snicker at, The Pirate Bay apparently has been hacked and the info bandits have made off with user information.
According to Brian Krebs, up until December an Internet security reporter with The Washington Post, an Argentinian hacker called Ch Russo penetrated The Pirate Bay, one of the world's leading BitTorrent search engines, and snatched "user names, e-mail and Internet addresses of more than 4 million of the site's users."

It's interesting that we don't hear more about famous or large companies being hacked. I would think its safe to assume there are many, many more but only so many made public. Just imagine the fan spray if that was one of those married people dating sites.
