Data leaks are impossible to reverse, so the best strategy is to prevent intruders from having prolonged, unfettered access to the systems in the first place.

What Wikileaks exposed is kind of superficial in a way.
People love WikiLeaks when it is exposing corruption in their opponents. People oppose WikiLeaks when it is exposing corruption or dangerous behavior in themselves.
These megaleaks... They're an important phenomenon, and they're only going to increase.
