Hackers Dump Millions of Records From Banks, Politicians
hypnosec writes "TeamGhostShell, a team linked with the infamous group Anonymous, is claiming that they have hacked some major U.S. institutions, including major banking institutions and accounts of politicians, and has posted those details online. The dumps, comprised of millions of accounts, have been let loose on the web by the hacking collective. The motivation behind the hack, the group claims, is to protest against banks, politicians and the hackers who have been captured by law enforcement agencies."

And the leap from "governments not doing everything right 100% of the time" to "thus, governments do everything wrong 100% of the time" is why the rest of the world laugh at Americans as ignorant and prejudiced nincompoops.
A government agency could be doing something where its own interests trump yours.
A corporation is guaranteed to have its own interests trump yours.
I'd rather take the government, because experience shows that most of the time, they work for the public. If they sometimes don't, that's stil a heck of a lot better than the track record of corporations.
