Source?

I have never heard of a bank’s core mainframes being hacked in the last decade (outside of pen tests), even for mid size banks outside the global top 100.

These are not the core mainframes… the only parts that actually get what might be called lavish spending on security.

Everything else outside of that… banks obviously have incentives to cut security spending to as low as possible.

Nobody is comparing 4chan to bank mainframes except you. I can’t give a source for something I didn’t claim in the first place.

What are you talking about? There are massive breaches of huge companies who should be doing better all the time.

In 2017: > More than 40% of the population of America was potentially impacted by the Equifax data breach.

In 2022: > In September 2022, Optus experienced a major data breach that exposed the personal information of millions of customers

That's just 2 off the top of my head.

Did you miss the words “bank” and “core mainframes”?

i.e. what they actually might spend millions of dollars per week on securing.

Because only a hacked "core mainframe" (definition please) of a bank can excuse the lack of resources at 4chan? Only accepting overly specific evidence is a neat trick to never lose an argument.
