Crazy that the attackers were able to get this information so easily. I wonder if PayPal/GoDaddy will alter their policies. I'm sure they've received a lot of criticism in the few hours since the article has been posted.

Here's an article on The Verge that claims Paypal is denying the reports, saying it didn't give away the customer's information. On the other hand, GoDaddy is reportedly changing its customer service policies to avoid issues like this in the future.

Props to GoDaddy.
