And, in case anyone doesn't understand, I am not saying that UAL handled this well. I know that their PR people wrote things that were ultimately wrong, I know what their letters were unclear/inaccurate, etc. But that doesn't change my conclusions.

A friend of mine in Chicago works for UA corporate was over at my place on Saturday and we talked about what happened. They were not hacked.

I will check with him to see if he's ok with me explaining what happened.
