It'll be interesting to see how the security breach came about...something trivial that was previously protected by obscurity? Lots of people have never used a Bloomberg terminal, and its main clientele don't seem like the type to heavily security test it for fun.

It appears this is very much the case- Bloomberg insiders have known for years that you can access anyone's information- and have publicly stated as such. I suppose people didn't realise the dangers contained within that before now? Seems odd, but still.
