Chowder, RE: List of costs


I do not think it is possible to get such information. Here is a fairly accurate list of data losses.

There is more info on the TJX incidents costs because it is a publically traded company and it caught a lot of press due to the fact that it was the largest reported loss to date.

Chowder...during the recent Data Protection Summit, a number of speakers used the following figures:

$182/compromised record
Total cost/incident...5-25 million dollars...

These figures were for a company loosing a laptop....FWIW

Sincerely,
