Customers: TD Ameritrade failed to warn of breach

TD Ameritrade announced on Friday that a compromised computer at the company had leaked the e-mail addresses of potentially all its 6.3 million customers, but news of the breach came as no surprise to many tech-savvy customers.

“ If Ameritrade cannot secure its information systems, account holders cannot be sure that the funds and securities in their account(s) are safe from diversion. If spammers can steal e-mail addresses from Ameritrade, they may also be able to divert funds. ”

I think that just about covers it…
