These repeated break-ins should make consumer-grade hosting environments more secure. Not going to happen at the price points people are accustomed to - they'll simply become professional-grade hosting environments, with a price tag to match. See Amazon's recent cloud HSM announcements - $5000 set-up fee before you get started. Then people will whine about how expensive it all is, and some bright spark will come up with ways to make it cheaper by compromising here and there, and we're back to square one.

Honestly, the high tech industries are shocking at learning from history - "Oh, those constraints from 10 years ago don't apply to us anymore, technology has moved on." Sure, but people haven't, and most of the real problems are sociological problems - fraud, greed, stupidity, stubbornness. Companies that deal with money or payment processing come up against this faster than ones that don't, and they adapt (see PayPal's anti-fraud department, so successful they spun off Palantir) or die (80% of all Bitcoin exchanges to date).
