Of course they are many ways company can have consequences.

Depending the location of the service there are laws to respect, GDPR, PDPA, etc.

Take british airways: theverge.com/2019/7/8/20685830/bri...

Or eben look at Marriott: thehackernews.com/2019/07/marriott...

You then also have the case of terms and condition. If a company has breached their terms and condition through poor practices or not fixing vulnerabilities it is subject to users going to court.
