Of all the comments I have heard around SI with regards to this situation, yours is the worst.

SI posted this message at 5:00.
Message 13745322
24 minutes before your post. Had you done your research you would have known they were fully aware of the situation and were working on it, if not had it corrected by that time.

Even the hint of an accusation that SI had knowledge of and approved of the hacking is absolutely ludicrous. You should be ashamed of trying to make an ugly problem even more out of control.

"Private messages have been hacked into and it may or may not have occurred with SI's knowledge and approval. "

Get real. What kind of service would do that? SI staff have it fixed so that they won't even read your own personal messages if you ask them to. You might as well accuse your local grocery store of selling rotten eggs on purpose.

I cannot imagine under what circumstances SI would have knowledge of, or grant approval to any form of hacking.

I am unclear as to what kind of problem there seems to have been and why you would feel personally violated.
