Australian businesses have been getting targeted last year and this year as organized crime knows our business doesn't take IT issues seriously nor is there legislation or limitations on businesses storing your personal information or how they protect it.
It encourages bad behavior by business, they don't want to invest in IT to protect it, and they want to keep all your information as well with no limits - laughing at my cock isn't a huge deal.

Interesting thing is, there are some bits of your personal info, usually the sensitive ones, that never changes. So if you got hacked once, and the data is on the web, then it makes "no difference" if you have been hacked a thousand times, the data is already in the public forever.
