I agree that there is no way to prevent the determined hacker or state actor from breaking into just about anything they want. Just like putting locks on our doors keeps the common criminal out for the most part, but the determined guy/gal will find his way in.
What always bothers me more is how caviler many companies, especially many marketing companies I have seen, are with our personal details. As recently as just a few years ago I was fixing one such marketing company's issues, like using sequential id's on exposed web links sent in emails. Which all you had to do was increment the id and you could get personal details for other people from the database (which had happened). They fixed that issue and some others but still never addressed security as a whole, which just bugged me. Plain text passwords in a database, no encryption on sensitive data etc. And I see it over and over, a company won't change unless they are forced to, and then it is change only enough to appear secure, not be secure.
