Avery, I'll know it when I see it. :) I was really excited to see "Is There a Cost to Privacy Breachs? An Event Study," Alessandro Acquisti, Allan Friedman, and Rahul Telang. WEIS 2006 and ICIS 2006. (http://www.heinz.cmu.edu/~acquisti/papers/acquisti-friedman-telang-privacy-breaches.pdf) This study debunked the idea that breach notices hurt the company's shareholders in the long run. It's an important mis-conception, and I'm glad to have data to show that it's wrong.
Why wouldn't you want the market to punish actors with security lapses? Economic incentives are the only way security will be taken seriously.

MATWYSHYN University of Florida, University of Cambridge Email: andreamm () ufl edu Auth-Page: http://ssrn.com/author=627948 Full Text: http://ssrn.com/abstract=914420 ABSTRACT: This paper empirically and normatively explores the current data security contracting regime that exists online. Using an analytical lens from complexity theory, this article presents an empirical study of 75 websites of publicly traded companies across time, tracking legal emergence of data security contracting practices. It then argues that a new legal construction for data security contracting is needed to replace the current regime of terms of use and privacy policies; current internet data security contracting structures do not facilitate building of commercial trust. -- Douglas F.
