Earlier this week, noted security researcher and consultant Mark Burnett made waves when he posted 10 million stolen usernames and passwords on his blog. Of course, the security expert didn’t post the passwords with malicious intent. Instead, his goal was to “release a clean set of data” that gives the world insights into user behavior, and also to draw attention once again to the arrest and prosecution of Barrett Brown.

New stories pop up nearly every day that involve people being horribly mistreated by Comcast’s customer care team, and each one is more cringeworthy than the last. Examples from the past few weeks alone involve Comcast calling a subscriber an “a**hole” on her bill, Comcast calling a 63-year-old woman “super b*tch” on her bill, and one particularly ridiculous story of a couple who couldn’t get help with their Comcast service until someone complained to Comcast CEO Brian Roberts’s mother on their behalf.
