Tech//404, a new venture by insurance company Darwin, sells insurance for losses due to technology and security failures. And they now publish a �Data Loss Archive�, a sort of repository of horrible acts of corporate data theft (it has potential, but should it only has a number of recent events and really should have an RSS feed).
They also have a �Data Loss Calculator�, a rather grim calculator that lays out the cost of data breaches � but it has zippy sounds (insurance company folks are such wild and crazy people.)
Of course, the human costs of data breaches � ruined credit, stolen identify, etc. � are far harder to calculate.
