Even e big companies. Apple, Sony, Microsoft. They all have security loopholes just waiting to be found in their products. Wether this is hacking into someones bank account, or just boosting their score in a video game, it is all based around security loopholes and is hacking. There is really no way to prevent this as of right now though.

I agree with you somewhat - but there are cryptographic systems that can only be broken by brute-force attacks. Implemented correctly, these systems allow for secure storage and transmission of data.
Problem is, no matter what kind of stuff you put into an app, everything lands in the hands of the user to take apart and look inside at his leisure. Putting the secret to your AES encryption inside your app? Can be found and used to break your encryption. Same goes for any private key for asymmetric encryption or signing of scores. Once it is found and published, it becomes useless.
