The FBI et al. do try to find the guys. Arrests happen relatively frequently.

But security improvements don't happen because they cost money, and nobody is making them do it, though this is slowly changing.

Can I sue a company for inadequate data protections if my data is breached? I assume I would have to prove damages, and maybe that becomes harder if I can’t tie the victimization to a specific breach. And probably the terms of service make it harder, like I might have to use arbitration and can’t join a class action suit.
