Apparently they were reported to the OMB.
Time for a FOI request there?

We have seen from many past GOV reports that for many scenarios, there is 
no legal mandate to report the incident, except in secret to some other GOV 
agency.

Many US states have no breach laws yet.  (30 something do)
Many of those that do, exempt gov agencies, non-profits, private 
individuals, data that was encrypted.

So...what are the loopholes?  Why are incidents not being reported?
