Do you have any evidence to suggest "that code safety and security" was NOT "prioritized over profit"? How would you falsify this? Are we to assume that every security breach indicates that profit was prioritized over security? Doubtful.
Also, "profit" is the reward for doing things efficiently, it is not some kind of scoreboard for how much a company is ripping off consumers. NewEgg is in such a hyper-competitive & mature space with margins in the low single-digits on average. Incidents like this can absolutely tank them, especially this close to the holiday season.
E-commerce companies do not make money on security breaches, they lose it. Lots of it. I think you should be a little more open-minded to how businesses operate, that's all.
