That or they just chose it because they thought it immoral. It's gotta make you feel kind of queasy that nowadays righteous hacker groups decide on their own what is immoral and what isn't - given that they have so much power.(I mean it's pretty much O.K. when they hack a terrorist group like ISIS but doing this is kind of wrong since they can't know how many lives they destroy with an action like this - the discovered cheaters mariages and families get pretty much decimated after this, the employees from that company could lose their jobs and so on...
And then again, cyber security not being improved on might be at fault too.
Yeah, it is interesting how much power hacker groups have when they are basically just random people with good computer skills.
However I don't blame them at all for destroying marriages, I blame the people who cheated. If you went outside the bounds of your marriage it's your fault for doing it, not somebodies fault for finding you out.
I find that you take a simplistic view of it. Or maybe you're biased about it for some reason.
There are surely marriages among those destroyed by this action in which the cheated one wouldn't have ever found out about it - and been happier for it too. The view that what we don't know doesn't hurt us and that ignorance is bliss, can be especially true in this situation. But I might be wrong about this. Even so, it is the hackers' fault and you can't take that away from it just by putting an immoral spin into (or even bringing ethical considerations into it at all) what they uncovered - at least not in this case, certainly. These are still people. Their lives should remain private no matter what - to the extent they wish them to be as such and especially if they're using a product that is supposed to protect their privacy. They fucked someone else - so fucking what? It's not a crime - or, at least, it sure as hell shouldn't be(especially when you take into account natural biological impulses that some humans have in the extreme).
