Does this mean the supposed data breaches at yahoo, linkedin and twitter are the same? I dont remember hearing anything about these before.
It's embellished. HUGELY.

They cannot get any passwords, yahoo, Google, etc. info from this. It's a hardware identifier and that's it.

It's the difference between knowing a street address for a house (which you can get in any real estate guide available at any public library) and actually breaking into a house, stealing your address book, bank statements and so on.
