Hackers have breached DDoS protection firm Staminus, a US-based company that offers protection against a range of network security attacks including, well, DDoS. The fraudsters have also reportedly stolen sensitive data from Staminus' database and dumped it online. Apparently the company was using the same root password for all its servers, and had stored credit card details in plain text.

The first is pretty normal, provided they're documented in a secure location (apparently they weren't). The latter is a huge fucking liability.
