Access via starbucks isnt the problem. It's servers, malware, or an infected computer that has you on an email list.

Apparently passwords are hackable not using cracker ware. It can be done using a keylogger, which is injected by malware. Also the password per the above emails and what I read are also due to vulnerabilities with the service concerning password recovery. -sighs-
