Apparently this was a serious hack. According to reddit that image was on every computer company wide. Commenters who downloaded the files found a file list containing source code, business/financial documents, encryption private keys, sql files, etc....
Just a data point but one of our company's best AppSec/InfoSec guys left for SOE last year. He was back 9 months later with many a tale to tell about how low priority security is there.

It's low priority almost anywhere. Even banks don't tend to care as long as it doesn't involve the customer and financials data.

However there are a lot of people who are pretty sure that security incidents only happen to other people.
