It is essentially a financial institution handling billions of dollars. It is not the average website of your neighbourhood restaurant that got hacked or a scattershot ransomware attack. I would expect that for that scale nation state actors are not out of scope, even if it is usually about infiltration and IP/secrets theft than outright getting robbed.

Eh said financial institution chose a field of operation where certain risks are present by design. They make good profits because other institutions judge those risks too high.

It's the mob attacking a casino and making off with chips. That people keep valuing those chips is one of the mysteries of our days.
