Well, I don't exactly support hacking, but I do think a little public humiliation for those who fail to properly secure sensitive info can be beneficial. I was affected by the PSN hack, so obviously I hate the disruptions it can cause - but if it means much more secure servers in the future then I'm ok with it to a certain extent. I use online banking and make online purchases, so I want to know that I can trust websites to be secure.
The reason I ask about iCloud is fairly simple. Apple, specifically (although MicroSoft is tagging along), wants to push this whole "Cloud" business. They want us to just put everything on the cloud network so we can access our files from any mobile devices. In theory it can be very useful for many things, but it needs to be secure. What better way to test it than have a hacking group who does it "for the lulz" attack the iCloud?
