But really, who could expect them to be responsible for their own information in this case? This is obviously a rather large organization. Not trusting them is like not trusting your bank with your banking information (for people at smaller banks). Though, safety in numbers, right? I imagine only the more famous ones will really be burned by having their personal information released. (Or those that perhaps deal in the more 'questionable' genre of doujinshi, but it's still legal, so they only have to worry about UNICEF.)

Well, not really.
So, I should never apply for a job or book a hotel (etc, etc) again because every time I write down my name and address I risk them being lost, stolen, and displayed for the world to see? Seriously, screw that. You can't get by in life without giving specific people your data. Its a necessity... and those people are supposed to take care of it to one degree or another.
They were only signing up for an event, and I doubt they were allowed to give fake information and still attend, so it wasn't really that they 'chose' to put themselves at risk. It was that it was one of the many situations in life where you have to give information out.
(So yeah, if that happened to me (and, you know, I was remotely famous or anyone would care about my information (if it were bank details or something)) my first thought wouldn't be "Damn, I gave information out to that company. I should have known better" it would be "What? What the hell were they DOING?")
The question is that when you sign up for anything you know that you have to give your information. It will be there and there is a risk that it can be released, leaked or given or whatever. Which means that when this things happen you do not complain. It was partly your fault because you gave them the data. If you want to remain secret and safe, don't give your data and die all alone. If you want to have jobs, participate in events or anything of the sort, you have to go through that risk.
They can even annoy you when the information is not leaked, people simply do not care about their personal information because they are certain the counterpart will only use it for reference. They never use it just for reference.

When people give their names to any place or company they certainly know that it has their risks, being loss of data one of the risks. Taking this in consideration, while the "accident" is quite annoying, all the involved people should have known better.

And on a side note, it was leaked by just one virus?

Anyway, they might not get physically attacked but they might be ridiculed or looked down on.
