It's taken them a while to address the issue.
Always follow the dollar [those in countries which do not use the dollar, insert your currency here]. They're perhaps just now getting serious about addressing it because heretofore the amount that they were losing was just a trickle compared to the rest of their (ahem) "sales." Well, the trickle may have gotten big enough that they feel that they have to address the problem.
Alternatively, or additionally, they may have felt that they didn't have the time. None of us, or companies, either, have a limitless supply of it. They needed their employees (IT or whoever) working on other things worse than they needed to use them to fix this problem. They've got to set priorities (sorry, tm, if this sounds like a personal development book), and maybe this problem is just now reaching the threshold where they're going to have to fix it.
I've got a leaky faucet in my bathroom. It's been leaking for years. But when it started out, it didn't drip very often. It's gotten much worse than it was--there's going to get to be a point where I'm going to have to fix it, whether I want to fix it (and, believe me, I
don't want to have to do it) or not. It's going to start costing me too much money because of the water consumption. That's an analogy.
