Keep in mind, in some cases it’s harder to hack an individual, especially if they are the slightest bit security conscious. Big corporations often use outdated software, sometimes painfully so. It’s not really uncommon to hear about corporations using software that has been abandoned for decades. Meanwhile, your laptop and cell phone automatically update. Meaning, there’s a chance you are a little more secure than your average corporation.
Also your data is meant to be private and accessed by a single person. Basically a big wall around your stuff with a single door.
Corporate data, by design, needs to be accessed by many people inside and outside the company. So they are adding another door for each person, department, or API that needs access. Even if the wall is higher and stronger, it’s still full of doors to try.
