More and more lately, I see more large companies in hot water for another significant data breach (Dropbox, AT&T). Will this become the norm? (lemm.ee)

More specifically, are we seeing companies breached due to their (obvious?) security flaws, hackers getting better at what they do, or a combination of both?

What is the future of security for these large companies that we put our trust into that our data is safe?

it is the norm.

It always has been. I mean, super yachts are expensive, someone's gotta pay for that in one way or another. There's never been 'enough' with these people. They hide their greeds in something like 'new opportunities'

Even now, the lawyers are working their butts off finding new loop holes so that they could sell your data even more without raising red-flags

This will keep on happening, just as how they try to shove ads to you in any way possible.
