There's a bit of responsibility from us IT / cybersecurity folks.
Our system is setup that we defend the networks we've been assigned to. The greater cultural problems are someone else's problem. We don't actually look outside of our own networks.
Hospitals getting hacked? Well, that's sad, but not our problem. Not until they pay us at least.

Granted, I'm not sure what we _should_ be doing about this issue. But at least acknowledging our current culture would be a step forward. Good IT security comes from the top, from a culture of security.
