The author raises two major arguments for why the current low level of care is entirely appropriate - "the prevailing attitude among business leaders is: Damage to the company’s reputation SOUNDS bad, but (so the thinking goes) it’s really too amorphous to quantify. Plus, many companies in recent memory were the victims of massive cyber attacks, took a hit to their reputation or stock price, but saw it rebound a week later with no other ill effects. (again, that’s the belief. More on this later) The fines currently in place appear to be lower than the expected cost to improve the company’s security posture." But where is the counterargument against that? There is no "more on this" in the article, and if those two things are true, then it would be wrong for companies to start caring more, as it's cheaper/more effective to suffer the not-that-bad-really consequences than bear the substantial effort and expense of trying to prevent them.
