Nice dramatic intro to your story. You're on your way to becoming a great journalist! Haha, anyway, something needs to happen. Whether its this, or something else in the future, there needs to be some type of regulation/accountability for your actions. I am in support of freedom of speech and general civil liberties, but when you see groups like anyonymous and lolsec go after whoever they want, relatively unpunished, its only a matter of time until the group goes after the general public or their tools/tactics become the norm.
Right now its big corporations that fall victim to this. But what happens when they realize there is money to be made off of general public. Once you become the victim and they go unpushed, you'll want some type of protection.
Consider the internet a new found country. Now there are few rules and no real regulations. But what happens when it sucks to go down the street?
