Oh, come on.  It's not the size of the breach, it's what data was
taken.  Or perhaps it's the size of the data set: "A computerized
analysis of four data breaches..."

| A computerized analysis of four data breaches that compromised
| personal information on some 500,000 people suggests the alarm that
| often accompanies electronic break-ins may be largely unwarranted.
| 
| On the other hand, the study also suggests that publicity can help
| deter fraudsters from using the stolen data.
| 
| The analysis, conducted over the past six months by San Diego's ID
| Analytics, is believed to be the first to calculate just how much
| fraud occurred after each security breach.
