Here's the most important part of this story:
No gas service was interrupted, the companies said, and the interruption of customer transactions was merely a precaution. It was unclear whether any customer data was stolen.
Which leads me to ask: "Where's the fire?" This kind of alarmist drivel is beneath the Times, and it's either a de facto admission that Americans are now a comic-book culture, or confirmation that our children listened to way too much bad music.
