I mean, is it negligence? They were hacked; this was a presumably criminal action that the company was a victim of. If it's breach of contract, don't you just get your money back and that's it?

Its a breach of privacy in the context of contract, negligence, and duties owed under statute. Its very complicated and depends on the jurisdiction, I wouldn't even speculate what the US laws say about privacy, but this is all bad for the website.
This is a business built upon claims of privacy. They're done. This is one time you can watch and enjoy while a business fails.
As to damages, who knows. So many different ways of approaching it. Refund? Damages to reputation? Damages for breach of privacy? Its just over for them.
