I happen to work in Indiana in IT for a retail store and my boss and I were just discussing how to avoid a "CNN event" just like this. Hopefully this article will be the tipping edge for the upper management to give us the time and resources to be able to properly secure our network... but somehow I doubt it.
Take a CNN story like this, edit it to show your company as the culprit including how sales dropped dramatically, set it up on a web server somewhere, fabricate a CNN-spoofing URL to access it, and use an anonymous web email account to send it to those upper level managers along with a comment saying "do you want to avoid a situation like this?".
