I don't get it.

"Your security was insufficient and that caused your customers a great deal of anguish. Now give us money for some reason. No, of course it's not going to the customers, don't be stupid".

The fines probably go towards further prosecutions against corporations who are reckless with consumer data.  I'd rather that occur than the British tax payer funding these cases completely. 

So they pursue these cases to collect money to pursue these cases?
