It is a good charity for young parents to be, we went to pre-natal classes with them and they were very helpful with information.

It does me as well, the hackers don't care who they hit as long as they get someone.

To be honest I suspect that there has been no real increase other than in the coverage that this sort of thing is getting in the hands of the continually over sensationalising press who will do anything for a story.
