#4So the thing I keep wondering is, where is all this data going? Outside of the high-profile Lockheed Martin attempt, have there been any reports of accounts, particularly consumer accounts, getting hacked as a result of these attacks?

The tense is weird in that sentence you quoted. If this information came out today, when were they criticized?
