Unless you’re a tiny company, there are legal/regulatory requirements to disclose breaches.

When it comes to AuthN, the right number of breaches is 0. Same argument for password managers, and why I advise people to stay clear of lastpass.

We all know that breaches do occur, it’s impossible to be 100% secure etc. but having multiple breaches when you’re a security service provider is simply unacceptable. And when the timeline shows you were slow to react, it’s negligible for anyone to continue using that service provider.

Data is great, but in lieu of it, that’s enough for me.
