Key is "unwilling". Hackers must also remember some companies willingly pay for this info.
Based on the numbers I've seen doing contract work for a big blue chip in the UK, you could see it as an opportunity to sell penetration testing services. If this one is unwilling, there could be 5 more willing to pay a good sum to have these sorts of flaws identified and fixed.
I get the feeling a lot of pen. testing companies run a standard set of checks for vulnerabilities. The report I saw was simply a bunch of metasploit results. They were charging some many thousands for this. Offering above and beyond could be a good opportunity.
