And there was a front page article in our local paper yesterday about how cybercrime involving government sites is getting out of control. Unlike the public sector, there is no law stating that breeches involving .gov and .mil sites must be made public.

That sounds a bit messed up since at least some of those Gov. computers likely hold the personal information of everyday people. I mean for example Social Security deals with the personal data on the citizens so I can't see how they could argue that they don't have a responsibility to let people know that their data has been compromised by a hacker.
