Citing one instance out of 500+ data breaches doesn't invalidate the GAO 
report. No doubt there will be other cases, but I think the gist of the 
report was that despite the large number of breaches, only a small 
percentage result in identity theft or fraudulent charges that anyone can 
determine.
