Is there a study you can point to? I'd be curious to know the severity of the vulnerabilities. In the past companies have also been able to successfully cover up breaches. The media attention as you point out makes this more challenging, but in the post-Snowden era people are more aware and and concerned about security and privacy and researchers are getting better at explaining/marketing their discoveries (ex. Heartbleed). I can see breaches continue enjoying heightened attention across industries.
