It is completely fine to target organizations to expose and/or cripple them if they (excuse my language) suck.
The justice system isn't equal, fast enough, or adequately enforced a lot of the times. While hacktivism is breaking the law it is one of the few times where it is alright to do so. It is done for the greater good of the public and the sake of delivering some much needed justice but also accepting the consequences if/when the time comes.
This is a good topic but right now it's a little too general. Please choose one specific attack on one specific organization.
