Perhaps I'm not predisposed to view this story the way you are, but I actually got the opposite sense from it. Don't trust that the massive bureaucracies will save you. Don't trust that the US government is doing a good enough job. The brief mention in the story "there was a congressman demanding that even white-hat hackers, who tried to probe systems as a way to point out vulnerabilities before the bad guys got to them, be thrown in jail", I think screams that there are people working with our best interests at heart, don't demonize them as hackers. But perhaps I'm just predisposed to optimism; that eventually the rational, sensible approach to cybersecurity will prevail. Perhaps you're right, and I'm just being foolish.
