Disruption by who? Other sovereign entities?

  Perhaps by the state in which a business or other entity is registered. In some states there are strict laws about maintaining privacy of customer data. But, AFAIK, where I am there's nothing specifically addressing negligence in failing to address a security breach that can be called "cracking". Government could, as part of their protection of their citizens offer a service of receiving security notices from third parties and passing them on to registered entities. The government run body could then check - and possibly advise on - the fixing of the [potential] data breach. In the UK the Information Commissioner's Office handle data protection issues (including legislational requirements placed on organisations). They have a form [a .doc, that tells me a lot TBH!] for companies to notify the ICO (http://www.ico.gov.uk/for_organisations/data_protection/lose.aspx http://www.ico.gov.uk/for_organisations/data_protection/lose...); it's not much of a stretch to have a form for third parties but there would need to be legislation to deal with enforcing responses and providing an amnesty for those making [non-malicious] reports.

  Perhaps something like wikileaks for internet security? Located outside US jurisdiction?
