  Businesses are not going to expend money fixing any problem, no matter how
  severly it affects me as a customer, until it starts to affect their
  profitability. I wouldn't expect them to; they are a construct created with
  the express purpose of optimizing profitability. My goal as a security-
  conscious consumer is to -make- it the corporation's best interest to fix any
  problems that would have a detrimental effect on me as quickly as possible.

(Please, not another full-disclosure flamewar, I just wanted to post this
 because it seems to summarise the situation nicely).
