Steam loses user database

I highly doubt Valve's database is more complex than Apple's or Amazon's database. You never hear about theirs being compromised to the same extent as Valve's.

Given Apple's propensity to stomp on any negative publicity, they could have had a dozen similar issues and never disclosed them. Hardly a fair comparison.

But I imagine if Apple's or Amazon's databases were compromised, it would quite likely be to a similar extent.

Once you can perform a select statement, extracting data becomes pretty easy.
