No really. You just have to do what just happened happen a couple more times and they are finished. If they can't protect their data they have no business, their reputation is destroyed and there's no point of hiring them if a week later the list of the people you are spying leaks. Turn the game around, info security is asymmetric by definition, it's a lot easier to attack than to defend. As a defender you need to plug all possible holes but If you become the attacker you just need to find one.
