No corporation bothers securing their data to a reasonable extent, so naturally they might as well choose the additional revenue stream of an "accidental" "breach" which is extremely valuable to surveillance capitalism. It's not like they face any significant consequences 99% of the time...

Yeah but like why not? Acting stupid is a thing.
I will always downvote Hanlon's Razor. Not because it's useless, but because it doesn't really hold true in capitalism and fascism. I can't speak to this specific example, but peoplle act out of malice all of the fucking time.
