This has been going on for more than 10 years, fairly frequently, and at increasing scale, and the public still hasn't learned. It requires something with severe impact for very many people (like hacking an entire bank or government) before the awareness will set in, I'm afraid. And even then I'm not convinced it'll happen and stick. Think climate change.
They can generate enough noise for politicians to start paying attention, though. The EU makes small steps from time to time. Enforcing laws remains a problem, though.
