headline gives the picture that they broke in and stole money or something. It's not the breach that wiped out the market cap, it's their poor cybersecurity practices that did it. The breach just showed people that there are existing problems with the company

after the company said client files had been accessed by an unknown hacker, the latest attempt involving the company

Yeah, it’s like all the time with these guys. Their salespeople call me and they’re like “we’ve never been hacked” and I forward these kind of links to them

Large companies are targeted constantly. I'm sure the qualifier 'latest' was quite out of date by the time the article was published.
