Its never been about money for hackers, its about ideology and pride.
The same thing happened to PS3, the other OS option was utilized as a backdoor. Sony sued the hacker who did it and removed the option. A few months later, the PSN was heavily compromised and Sony was forced to shut it down to fix the problem.
MS can't fix the hardware problem especially with 5 million of them shipped. If its trully an issue of hardware then it would ultimately require a redesign which is hella expensive this early in the gen and might not even be possible. If MS sues the hacker, assuming they can even fine them first and the country that the hacker is in extradites him to the U.S, they could. But then they would face heavy retaliation, and XBL would be the obvious target, something the XB1 does not need right now. Not to mention it wouldn't solve the problem at all.
