All these big corps getting attacked, makes you wonder who is handling their security in the first place..

Its actually quite pathetic. Considering that its a big company with 150Million or so users, and is geared towards professionals, you would think that they would have done something about the password security on the site. I mean for goodness sake, even when building simple database driven sites for our clients I always use hashed, uniquely salted passwords. We are not invincible, but just doing that ups your security massively.
