What is my data worth?

I was reading about various lawsuits against companies/entities that have had data breaches and I got to thinking. Has anyone done any research into how valuable my data is? I would think that would go a long way in estimating losses. For example, an advertiser is interested in target demographics, how much will they pay for info about me and my spending habit, credit card debt, loans, etc. How much is the average consumer's data worth? Is it even reasonable to try and figure out that cost when trying to punish entities that lose the information? jas _______________________________________________ Dataloss Mailing List (dataloss () attrition org) http://attrition.org/dataloss Tracking more than 146 million compromised records in 366 incidents over 6 years.
