And then you have huge corporations with zillions of dollars passing through their systems, employing hundreds or thousands of people, and storing terabytes of mission-critical data, who treat the people who try to help them make wise IT decisions like mindless code-monkeys who don't know anything, despite having been ostensibly hired for their expertise on the topic.

Stop blaming the victims. If every corporation had to enforce their own physical security with a private army to prevent theft or killing of their employees, then no business could be a going concern.
We have a social contract where businesses just need to put forth some minimum effort (door locks, alarm) and police and the military do the rest.
We need to enforce this social contract online and against global criminals now. If the criminals are in a state that harbors them, use 10x retaliation to that state to give them an incentive to fix the problem. Dictators don't respect anything but force.

Yeah, I've come to realize we don't have any "social contracts" on this planet. We have a planetary cancer called "humanity" that barely manages to cooperate even in their common desire for destruction of everything good in the universe.
