The first data breach I was part of, it cost me over $10,000 to fix. I did not find out until I had judgements against me, and the collection agencies came after me. The latest breach I got sucked into only involved a compromised credit card, so it only cost me $75 to have a new one shipped to me while I was out of town (I only have one credit card). Saving those pennies has worked out great for me. I'm glad the executives got their bonuses and the stock holders got their dividends.
