Events like these will only become more prevalent as more personal, corporate and other information is digitized and stored by organizations too busy with other things to 100% button down their data (possibly an impossible thing anyhow), or simply too inept (a very common thing). There is a possible good side to it though, that it makes everyone, not just a few lone souls, much more conscious about privacy and rampant personal data collection, perhaps enough for a sea change in habits in the corporate and consumer worlds.
