No they seem to think they've hacked a private news company with strong ties to various intelligence services that had truly awful computer security practices (cc numbers in plain text on a webserver) and have gotten a lot of press. The goal is to show people that their data is not safe because of widespread poor security and to encourage the public to actually demand more than a token effort. I don't want it to sound like I fully support their actions but it's silly to make them out to be ignorant or inconsistent.
