The large accountancy firm Deloitte was hacked, losing client e-mails and files. The hackers had access inside the company's networks for months. Deloitte is doing its best to downplay the severity of this hack, but Bran [sic] Krebs reports that the hack "involves the compromise of all administrator accounts at the company as well as Deloitte's entire internal email system."
So far, the hackers haven't published all the data they stole.
If the data isn't published, then it's a for-profit hack, vs. a Wikileaks/Anonymous-style hack?

There is not much money to be made securing things and making sure they stay secure. It does not bring in revenue. Marketing brings in revenue and it can be measured. Adding new features to a product brings revenue, and it can be measured. Security does not add value until something bad happens. Plus some governments want to outlaw encryption. And mandatory back-doors and front-doors.
And intentional complication of systems so hardly anyone understands them any more.
