In an unexpected move for a security company, SecurEnvoy today said that cyber break-ins and advanced malware incidents, such as the recent DDoS attack by LulzSec, should actually be welcomed and their initiators applauded. The company's CTO Andy Kemshall said: "I firmly believe that the media attention LulzSec’s DDoS attack has recently received is deserving. It’s thanks to these guys, who’re exposing the blase attitudes of government and businesses without any personal financial gain, that will make a difference in the long term to the security being put in place to protect our own personal data!"

If all they had done was to show weaknesses, then fine. But they also posted private info gleaned from databases, things like passwords, emails, & such -- not the worst they could do, for sure, but still a nontrivial tick upward on the creep-o-meter.
