It’s a lot multiple factors, opportunity cost, increase of online users due to pandemic, home from work, but biggest one being companies/governments don’t care about customer/user data so they they do bare minimum required by law to secure it. Which makes them an easy target. Getting breached is just part of doing business and a lot private companies just pay ransomware and go back to normal business.
I would have thought the Information Commissioners Office UK, would have the power to issue hefty fines. Mind it sounds like those may the consequence of doing business as well. Depressing.
