The Target and Home Depot breaches should've been wake-up calls. Instead, the bad guys remain free to wreak havoc everywhere. Last week I noted that most companies are either already hacked or could easily be hacked -- and, when they have anything worth stealing, are probably already owned by multiple APT (advanced persistent threat) groups.
This is a shock only to people who don't work on the front lines of the cyber war. The defenders fight this war poorly. If we were an actual army, the generals would be replaced far more often, and we'd have the right weapons in the right places. But we don't.
