It's hard to say what a group of hackers could do in this time and age. I think it's pretty safe to say that an example could come from Wikileaks & Bradley Manning.
Regardless of Manning's reasons, if he were right or wrong or if you agree with what he did or not, one thing is certain his leak/theft changed the world. He started the chain reaction, which has toppled govts with-in the middle east, a chain reaction that is still ongoing today.
That one act showed what can happen because a govt secret's were released, so only time will tell if these guys are just out to blow their own horn or do something useful.
