"...Mike Cook, a co-founder of ID Analytics, a San Diego-based company 
that detects and prevents identity fraud, said only a small percentage 
of accounts involved in a data breach end up misused.

"If you are a consumer and you're part of the TJX breach, you are hoping 
it's 10 million people because the chance of your name being misused 
goes down considerably depending on the size of the data breach," Cook 
said. ..."
