As most people would know there is a trend going on called the "ANTI-Sec Movement" which I am neither against or for simply for the reason some companies do deserve to get slammed with security breaches and show the customers how easy it truly is to get there lives taken from them simply by... you guest it "Trusting a Corporation."
Does anyone remember the days people wanted the 'Mom and Pop Shops' and no one trusted the corporations? I don't know what happen but I do miss those days, But with people actually "trusting" these big corporations all the independent 'Mom & Pop Shops' lose out and are forced to either sell or shutdown.
But the reason why I also disagree with the new movement is some of these websites that can't truly afford an IT Staff and is more like a low market will still get plucked and yes I understand that it's to prove a point but people are also at risk of getting there identity taken away from them; most people in this movement are actually not leaking most of the user database, it still will show up though so you always must take the precautions when playing in the digital world.
