The idea that an industry body would be more secure than the security department of major software company is something I don't see a lot of evidence for. Apart from the root DNS servers I can't think of any.
There are plenty examples of companies keeping something secure. There aren't many of industry bodies.
I'd trust a bank (well, some banks) before I'd trust either the W3C or IETF with the keys to the universe.
I doubt there is a single large company that has not been hacked at some point. It's just most hacks don't get reported and most reported hacks don't make the news.
