Why do you say that? A bigger company has also more to loose with such a problem and therefore they care much more about such things.

Smaller companies can hide behind obscurity, not big company.

If the same thing happened to a company much smaller then SAP, it wouldn't have made hacker news.

And what consequences will this have for SAP? The same as with Microsoft who had major security fails over the last 20 years yet people still use their products and nearly every company uses Exchange.

A lot of companies are also Too Big To Fail/their products and security are secondary to service and customer relations. IBM can deliver failed product after failed product, and companies still buy from them.

I mean when big companies make billions and then get exploited and have a 5m fine, its basically pennies on the dollar that they are paying and they take it as any time they get caught fucking up as just operational costs.

Crowdstrike took a 10% stock hit, but i from what i've seen of corps i work with the longterm affect at C-level decisions won't change and most if not all the contracts will stay in place and the stock will recover in a few weeks.
