Seen this story in Media Guardian?!

Apparently, on Monday night, the PRWeak jobs website started sending out the personal data of users - including login passwords - to its entire registered database..!

Legend dictates that if Ryan Giggs look-a-like Martin Veitch ever left, VNU Towers will fall and the kingdom will fall.
