Woah… gotta love the hypocrisy from some of the self proclaimed “privacy advocates” here.
All other data breaches and hacks are to be considered invasions of privacy, and you demand the government and/or companies do everything in their power to protect the private information of individuals.Yet, when it conflicts with YOUR version of morality… then you say, “good going hackers”.
Regardless of how you feel about what goes on in the private lives of others… a breach of private data is still a crime, and is still a threat to the civil liberties of all.
The law determines which information should come to light… and NOT the whims of some “moral majority”. There is a difference between moral distinctions, and criminality. So put down your pitchforks, step away from the mob, and stop the crusade.

How would you feel if the Syrian Electronic Army imposed their “morality” on their hacking targets?
How about those here in the U.S. who think sex out of wedlock is immoral, and start breaching the private data of popular ‘hookup’ dating/matching services like Tinder or Hinge???

Conclusion: Private data should be PRIVATE regardless of moral beliefs! And introducing the morality of other people, as some kind of justification for breaching privacy… stands AGAINST the principles of privacy that we should uphold for everyone.
If you start passing moral judgement about who deserves privacy, and who doesn’t…. then that pendulum will swing back Hard, when someone decides that what you are doing is immoral.
BTW… thank you Patrick for keeping it objective… and making it a point to leave 'judgement' out of the reporting.
Any one else kinda love the 'Impact Team' now?
LOL
