They are surely quiet about them, as fessing up too much would cause a great lack of confidence among consumers in their business practices. One of the local banks here had a security problem, and many of their customers (including me) started getting phishing emails as the thiefs began to use their acquired data to try to get more data. I'm in the process of having my account moved elsewhere as a result.
If there's legal proceedings going on, they probably won't say who stole the data, as they are not proven guilty yet, or they are being told to stay quiet while this lead helps the feds unearth a bigger ring of underground crime.
I'm in the internet business and see customer security problems every day. It's scary, not because of the technology, but the prevailing lack of care or skill that leads to security problems in most businesses.
