You're not hearing about anything major because those who have major exploits aren't about to tell the world. Successful intrusion here means what it usually means: RATing any devices possible; patching those devices themselves; infecting the network when possible; staying quiet and gathering. Machines that were vulnerable and later fixed now should be considered with the same weight as having been rooted. They should be fully overhauled. That means new drives, even. Of course, we all know that'll never happen. The overwhelming majority of people and companies handle data recklessly.
