Is it just the customer account details that apparently make hosting companies attractive targets. If that's the case, I'm wondering why we're not seeing more breaches from all over the e-commerce world. Why just hosting companies?

Maybe the hosting companies are simply more likely to detect a breach. Not a happy thought I know.

And more likely to disclose it perhaps?

There are a lot of breaches that you will never hear about because they go undetected or undisclosed.
