Asked how long TMM had been aware of the breach, Albright said that there had been a ?lot of misrepresentation [as] to this,? but verified that the company did ?become aware of an issue a few months ago.?
?We had determined what we at the time thought to be the extent of it and notified those who were affected,? Albright said. ?Also, as a precaution, we changed all of the admin passwords we maintained regardless of whether we had an indication they had been compromised or not. As soon as we became aware of the issue being more widespread we immediately contacted all of our clients and took the actions mentioned previously.?
Albright took exception to the notion that the company had not notified its clients in a timely fashion, and defended the company?s actions as being appropriate given the perceived degree of the breach?s severity at the time it was first discovered.
?This is something being misrepresented by people,? Albright said. ?We take our security and the security of our clients very seriously. [W]e contacted everyone we thought had been affected when we first knew of the issue and we contacted all clients as soon as we learned the issue was more widespread.?

Did they notify clients they thought were at risk when they first found out about this and if so who are they? These clients could save John from a lot of grief and I'm sure some will step up to the plate for him and tell us they were notified three months ago.
Or did they just fix it for the ones who notified them of the compromise and tell them how to fix it?
As for being a shit Xmas for him, not as shit as it is for some of his clients.
