Amazon EC2 has not been hacked - nor has Linked-In

There's always people looking to think the worst of cloud, hence the conflicting information. Gee, thanks global tech media for taking up my time with such a cycle of pointless questions. Although in the end it didn't take up too much time, as all of the could be answered with a single response - NO. The catalyst for the cavalcade of communication was the 'news' that appeared online claiming that a gang using the Amazon EC2 cloud had hacked Linked-In and got away with member profile data of millions of members of the business-oriented social network.
