Actually, I think first major Cloud player to be majorly hacked will be 
a double whammy to kill off the 'cloud' mentality:

At least the following two will occur:

* Everyone will question the security and privacy of their data in the 
'cloud'.
* The cloud provider will shut down for a couple of weeks (like the 
Playstation saga) to investigate what was accessed and how.

Can your company afford to be without your apps and data for a couple of 
weeks, while some hacker organisation has it?

I think not.
