I’d love to see some hard evidence of reputational damage. Folks always point to it as a major concern but I’ve yet to 
see one organization show anything tangible in regard to damaged reputation.

Cheers,
Harry

Curious if anyone read the article in today’s Wall Street Journal titled A Contrarian View on Data Breaches.
 
The interviewees seem to have a viewpoint around what’s best for their bottom line and for their shareholders, rather 
than what may be best for the cardholder.  We’ve never suffered a breach (that we know of) but I can’t imagine trying 
to keep it under wraps in hope that our reputation would not suffer.
 
Interested in others opinions.
