I actually have a lot of respect for some of these hacking groups precisely because they are willing to expose 'sensitive information'. I understand national security and all that, but why should government agencies be allowed to hide their secrets behind the so-called national interest. Why shouldn't we know our TV's are spying on us? The average person commits 3 chargeable offences a day without even realising it, so this kind of invasion has the potential to give individuals or entities power to ruin lives for the sake of a few extra $'s.
Yeah, I agree there. Who can keep the government in check if we don't know they're abusing power?
Unfortunately, people are often going to use things to their advantage in immoral ways and so someone turned it into ransomware.
