More and more lately, I see more large companies in hot water for another significant data breach (Dropbox, AT&T). Will this become the norm? (lemm.ee)

More specifically, are we seeing companies breached due to their (obvious?) security flaws, hackers getting better at what they do, or a combination of both?

What is the future of security for these large companies that we put our trust into that our data is safe?

It was always happening and at a large scale, it's just there are new reporting requirements now, which leads to more nonspecialized publications to cover it more often.

Exactly correct.

And I would say it will happen more frequently.
