I'm not sure there will be corporate reckoning. Unless security breaches come with business impacting consequences, they will continue to ignore it and just pay out occasional class action lawsuit.

Jaguar-LandRover had a cyber attack which shut them down for months and nearly caused them to go bankrupt

Of course they then blame "state sponsored" attackers.

		These days they’ll add “sophisticated AI attack” and get a pass for shoddy security.

I agree for data loss and ransomware where the ransom is paid, ie economically driven attacks. I wouldn’t agree when the hack is designed to kill the business destructively and no economic gain is sought or intended.

The difference in attack methodology is trivial, from a threat actor perspective, imho.

Zeabur is shutting down: what happens next - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50198025 - October 2026

- On October 14, 2026 (UTC), an external attacker gained unauthorized access to Zeabur's internal systems and some customer services. We began our emergency response as soon as we detected the unusual activity. We have confirmed that this incident affected a broader scope than the incident in late August...Having another security incident in such a short time has let down the people who trusted us. Protecting your services and data is our responsibility, and we have fallen short.

		Jaguar Land Rover didn't go bust (yet) but they had to shut down production in the UK for months following a cyber attack. Very much a material impact on the bottom line and share price

I’ve been increasingly going with Delta regardless of price because of their tech being at least somewhat usable. I might even be inclined to switch to another carrier if they were to make entirely api-based (personal) access available for flight management and searching/booking (probably via MCP given the current climate, but I’ll take what I can get).
