Did you read any of the posts on GFY by John from TMM when all this went down? TMM admitted that there had been a breach, that their own internal list of support access passwords to client installations had been compromised giving full admin access to the perpetrators.

NATS and other backend software doesn't capture and store credit card information, but they do maintain member email addresses and other non-financial data. Also, if you consider affiliates to be customers then all of their information was fully available as well, including SSN, mailing address etc.

Pretty tough to gloss all that over and come out looking good.
