Anonymous is the best that could ever happen for proponents of a crackdown on freedom (through/via/on the internet). No one knows who's behind it, so no one will stand up for them, no one will complain if they get harassed and all the blaim for everything that goes wrong in the future goes to Anon/hackers. It's the perfect scapegoat for incompetence.
This isn't Anonymous.

I work at a company that implements medical IT solutions for hospitals and anything with the NHS takes 3-5 times longer than in the US and other parts of Europe.
How come? What's causing it?

Anonymous doesn't change anything as far as excuses. If they're looking for an excuse to crack down, they can always make up an Emmanuel Goldstein.

And that may be even worse when it comes to a potential "crackdown": if it is just one group of hackers running amok, putting them down solves the problem, or at least the public discourse can pretend so. But if we come to have two, three, four, or even more groups on the loose, then there is an "epidemic" that will "require" a broader, more draconian response.
Anonymous literally could not have asked for a better representative on the information security front. Not only are they demonstrating that nobody's information is safe right now, they're doing it in a way that gets the message across without making everybody angry at them or any other geeks or netizens. Keep up the good work.
When you use "literally" like this, it's to indicate that what follows, whilst normally metaphorical, is in this case literal. How is "asking for a better representative on the information security front" a metaphor? The incessant misuse of the word literally, literally makes my blood boil. (See what I did there?)

I would suspect that it's because the primary mission of the NHS is to provide jobs for bureaucrats, any healthcare we happen to get is just a side effect. Same with the MoD and submarines.
Gov't IT projects suck because the RFP process is the most waterfall thing in existence, meaning the project is doomed from the start. And it goes downhill from there, with absurd amounts of politics and turf-protecting on all sides.

So all you need is the DoB, email address and postcode of someone, and you can view their private information. Genius.
