Companies often don't care about security until they get burnt. Joomla
has had a *ton* of security vulnerabilities, and the Bad Guys will take
advantage of them to compromise visitors to the site using all kinds of
Bad Stuff (like the Blackhole Exploit Kit).

Are they okay with their customers being hacked because of them? Because
that's the most common scenario.
