You really don't understand how much of an upper hand hackers continue to have when they want something bad enough. It's not just corporations. It's governments. If Iran couldn't defend against Stuxnet, maybe you should consider just how vulnerable you are.
Look at it this way: There are some really high-end hackers out there, but they don't just hack everything every moment of the day. For one thing, they need to make their attacks count, because every attack exposes them to detection. Also, hackers are inherently parasitic. If the parasite kills what it's feeding on, it dies too. If hackers really wanted to, they could have done enough damage to where banks wouldn't refund your bank account when it got compromised during your attempts to bank online using a cell phone or computer. Your account, my account, they're nothing. Hackers depend on the status quo being relatively unchanged. So they don't go big unless the payoff is big enough to be worth the risk.
I am not getting into a connected flying car.
Ok cool. I forgive Sony for being fucking dumb enough to get hacked. You win.
