Just as a side note, people give Starbuck literally billions every year. Not sure what would happend if starbucks get hacked and lost people money.

  The difference is Starbucks have 6.5B in cash/cash equivalents, and there is no ways to convert SB gift card balances to cash. What is the hacker going to do with it, order 1B cups of coffee?

    Well, he can delete all records about who has now many credits.

      If that's all there is, it's easy to have a backup and bring back the balance into everyone's account. This is a poor comparaison. This Starbuck money cannot be "stolen".
