I beg to differ, and
so do others.
For example, the following article addresses what companies should NOT do before, during, and after a breach: JULIE CRESWELL and NICOLE PERLROTH. (SEPT. 19, 2014). "Technology
: Ex-Employees Say Home Depot Left Data Vulnerable."
The New York Times.
And this post documents some consequences suffered by a number of companies (and multiple stakeholder groups) after said companies did not respond appropriately after their data was hacked: Karen Chu. (August 24, 2014). "
Security: The Right (And Wrong) Way to Respond to a Data Breach."
Bitium.
The implications - tangible and intangible - are greater than those you noted.
