        The whole East coast has been affected (I read on the Twitters so it must be true). That seems like a no brainer govt interest.

        I was thinking specifically of Wikileaks. I don't know if there are others.

        Maybe they differentiate for corporate and government/military attacks vs. mere crime (for direct profit).
