There's a quote by Douglas Adams pops up in my mind whenever the subject comes up:
> Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
This is the only explanation there can be for this. Every time there's a breach somewhere (of which there obviously are plenty), there's a big outrage. But those who should go "oh, could that happen to us, too?" choose to ignore it, usually with hand-waving explications of how the other guys were obvious idiots and why the whole thing doesn't apply to them.
This obviously goes for consumers and producers.
