Have hackers been getting better, more mischievous, or more public?  Are we just getting better at detecting hacks?  Are there more or more public white hat hackers?  Has everyone suddenly realized how much important information lives in the cloud and finally started reporting on hacking?

WTF is going on?

Personally, I think it's a combination but mostly people are being more vigilant about hacking attempts (and detecting footprints from successful intrusions) and the hackers are getting better and more brazen.
