Let's see...

TJ Max, UBS, Knight Capital, Heartland Payment Systems, Visa, Sony (already mentioned, but it's my fave), Stanford, Countless other hospitals, e-commerce vendors, banks, and other organizations that handle payment or personal information.

If you want to say "name a startup that's gone out of business because of a security problem" I'll let you away with that. There's still instances, and I'd love startups to pay more attention to security, but I know reality as well...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin#Theft_and_technical_vul... has quite a few startups going down due to security issues.

How exactly has Stanford had its business impacted due to a security breach? I'm only thinking in terms of people wanting to apply, and I can't imagine how that'd be a deterrent.

Stanford's a little more than a college. There have been at least 5 HIPAA breaches, with at least 70k people's information compromised.

To go a little further - at a glance, it's not clear if they've been fined yet or not, but either way there's soft costs to all of this - being in the news in a negative light, some patients will go elsewhere, their insurance premiums are going to go up as a result of the breaches, etc etc.

What was Knight Capital's security problem?

[jlkinsel]

Last year when KC shot themselves in the face, they were running trading algos that hadn't been well tested. When dropped into production, things blew up fairly quickly.

I probably should have left it off the list, it's more of a compliance/procedural issue than purely infosec.

They had nothing to do with security. The GP was stretching a fair bit to try and make a point.

They had an issue with deploying....supposedly:) They still haven't come out and said exactly what the issue was.
