Ransomware incidents are rampant and PII breaches are quite common. Remember Equifax, who lost the PII of basically all adult US citizens? Sure, there are extremely sophisticated, targeted hacks. But those are the minority. There are also hacks where hacker groups accidentally (!) shut down an oil pipeline. The reason the internet hasn't completely burned down is three-fold: - We accepted breaches as something "that just happens" and that "nothing is 100% secure" - which is true, yes, but applied very broadly. - Our operating systems are generally well secured and most exploits are very situational. - The hacker groups (at least most of them) don't put in too much effort either, since they make a very good living of the lowest common denominator.
