Remember the PSN hacks? Later sony said it would simply be cheaper to tell users about the data leak instead of securing it properly. Unless companies especially advertise with personal data security they probably give a shit about security. And thanks to lobby-democracy chances are low that politics will ever rate personal data higher than profit.
