I'm beginning to wonder if these massive data leaks that happen to Asian and Russian companies are less "hacks" and more massive honey pots designed to get a world wide audience of sensitive data without actually working all that hard to get it.
Personally, if I wanted to get the personal information of a few million people the first thing I would do is get back into game development or open up a dating site.

Rest assured, these "massive data breaches" are more common in the west than in the east. Consumers in the west have more disposable income, credit cards and internet access per capita than anywhere else in the world.
These kinds of cyber attacks will only increase in frequency and scope in the coming years. Be prepared to change your logon credentials (and credit cards) every 2 to 3 months in future.
Cyber crime will inevitably increase massively, because currently the risks of being caught AND punished are fairly trivial.
