Podshow email database hacked

It appears that this morning the video and audio casting site Podshow.com was hacked by someone calling themselves yeknom. A quick bit of digging suggests they may be chinese (shock! horror!). The officla line is that,
At approximately 10am PST today, an attempt was made to compromise our network. Our systems recognized the attempt and immediately reacted by shutting down certain functions. During this attempt, spam emails were sent to certain users on our network.
However, the coder behind the site and concept, Adam Curry, wrote three hours ago that "our email database has been compromised". Not good.

Well we have his probable year of birth:

1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004.

I think we can narrow it down to 1980 or 1992.
