Yeah that's patently obvious. But not all of these breaches are because of poor system security. Remember, fallible human operators exist in the system, and actual skilled hackers exist too. In the case of the hotel chain, it looks like root access was obtained because they stole unencrypted data from the site before they ran Conti on it.
Well, you can't fix stupid except in ways the law frowns on. That's all I can say.
The governments of the First World tried to breed a better human species back in the first half of the 20th Century, but then the retards and other genetically inferior folks lawyered up and turned the system upside-down so that retards rule the roost and being smart gets you on a list of unhireables.
