Yeah they can get into sites that have little or no security. However the attacks on the well secured big-money sites are nearly all organised crime, and those are nearly all Russian Mafia, and they employ nearly all ex KGB/GRU Information Warfare specialists. This is what was patiently explained to me a year ago by the deputy head of Londons Scotland Yard Computer Crime division after a site with state of the art security and storing a few thousand sets of personal financial details was comprehensively trashed.
We had insurance but our concern was 'where was the hole in our security' the worrying thing was all three experts we hired plus the polices own expert concluded there werent any. The even more worrying thing was that the police had at least 2-3 cases like this a month in the UK alone. The IP addresses all traced back to the same server which was on a dial-up line physically located in the Ukraine but was mobile on the trunk network (ie that too had been hacked and whenever you try to trace a number the software reports a different one back).
