– why do data breaches cost millions of dollars?

Bad guys break into homes and businesses.
Some bad guys like to trash the joint.
Some bad guys like to hide your stuff.
Some bad guys like to trash the joint *and* hide your stuff.
The bigger your house (or company), the longer it takes for you to find out how much of your stuff the bad guys hid and how much of your stuff they just trashed.
Sometimes you have spare copies of your stuff; sometimes you don’t.
Things you don’t have spare copies of, you’ve gotta go buy (or make) again.
And, sometimes the bad guys do so much damage no one wants to come to your place anymore for fear that the bad guys will come back.
