Gawker, why haven't you emailed your users to let them know your database was compromised? It's been 24+ hours.

How come your servers are in a place like Aberdeen? Sounds a bit weird to have all your info in Scotland in such a small city.

We are in the process of sending out emails to all ~1.5m users affected. Unfortunately, sending out that many emails is not a simple process.

Our servers are actually in Aberdeen, next to the Robert Gordon University, and as you will provably know, there have been problems with the electricity in all the área of the Granite city. It’s not easy to have the servers in Scotland, but it was a decisión made long ago, and nowadays it will take a lot of work and money to change them.
We truly appologice for any inconvenience, but we started sending the emails as son as we could, and of course the first ones to arrive where the ones to Aberdeen north, south and Gordon.
