I find it funny, especially after the response of the Hollywood types following the WikiLeaks e-mails being dumped.

Happens to the US gov't? Great fun, they should be exposed!

Happens to the Hollywood types? OH noes! We need to bend to the hackers to prevent worse from being released!
 
They exposed Sony employee salaries too.

Some lady high up in the Sony board was found to be getting paid $800,000 a year less then her male counter partner who does the same job

Can of worms at Sony, opened
It was also revealed their head of IT had no experience in the role, and used to be in management. The idiot had saved peoples passwords in notepad documents with clever names such as 'passwords' and many encryption passwords used by the company were 'password' or 'password123'. Even low level techs and customer service reps know never to save passwords in plain text documents, let alone in documents, at all.

I'm always amazed the amount of companies that store your passwords either in plaintext or at best use an easily reversible algorithm. Even reasonably large companies like TPG for instance. It's appalling security.

Hook up to a 'corporate' wifi network and set a wireless device to promiscuous mode. You'll be amazed at what you can pick up through network buzz when there are no separate VLANs in use.

Plain text passwords is literally the laziest thing you can do in web development. It takes less than two minutes to salt and hash passwords.

And TPG is even an ISP ffs! Surely you'd think they would employ what is effectively as you say, the "Hello World!" of password management.
