So they can offer services or such things at a cost I assume. Bit like if all crime was solved, the Police would be pointless.

They can't block it off entirely or else their ability to monetize will be negated :-)_

It's the banks that shock me - how should they ever allow a leak?

There is no absolute security

Same, but as mentioned, you can't lock everything off from the outside world entirely or you won't be able to monetize.

good question, wondered myself

People make mistakes, and there is no such thing as perfect security until you meet perfect people

Most Hacking isnt technical.

A lot of it is Social engineering / tricking a User.

A good example is the recent Uber Data Breach. The dude didnt hack through some firewall or whatever but tricked a dude to give out his password etc by pretending to be from the company's IT department.

And People that work for companies will always be "vulnerable" to social engineering to some extend due to being human. therefor stuff keeps getting leaked/breached/hacked
