If a company is negligent on a gross scale then fair enough but nothing would stop a determined hacker, they would see it as a challenge.
Picture this: BA has my credit card details but left all doors and windows opened, as they do every day. They also don't have any CCTV or security staff. BA was grossly negligent, without the shadow of a doubt . It's been an interesting case for us tech folks to go over. Even after the data breach was disclosed, the method the attackers could use was still evident if you cared to look at the way their payment page was made.
