I suppose I was saying that not all breaches are created equally. The Target breach that I vaguely recall was initiated by some IoT devices on the far edge of the network (then escalated into critical system). That doesn't make it right, by any means, but somehow it seems a more complex problem to control than simply encrypting core data, specifically if said data are your crown jewels to begin with (credit card numbers -- Equifax' core business). I didn't study the details of the particular Target breach, so I may have things wrong, but I'm merely trying to illustrate that I could have more sympathy for some breaches over others.
