If the breached data is API keys that can be used to rack up charges, it's going to cost you a bunch of money.

If it's a crypto wallet then your crypto is irreversibly gone.

If the breached data is "material" - i.e. gives someone an advantage in stock market decisions - you're going to get in a lot of trouble with the SEC.

If the breached data is PII you're going to get in trouble with all kinds of government agencies.

If it's PII for children you're in a world of pain.

Update: I found one story about a company going bankrupt after a breach, which is the closest I can get to "lethal": https://www.securityweek.com/amca-files-bankruptcy-following...

Also it turns out Mossack Fonseca shut down after the Panama papers: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/mar/14/mossack-fonsec...

A PII for children data breach at a Fortune 1000 sized company can easily cost 10s of millions of dollars in employee time to fully resolve.

		...and a massive fine in the millions on top of that if you have customers that are from the EU.
