These breaches expose sensitive information, raising concerns about reputational damage and substantial financial losses for affected firms. Prior research has consistently demonstrated the significant financial repercussions of data breach disclosures, with a significant decline in the market value of breached firms following the incident’s revelation. However, recent literature has documented the shift in consumer perception toward data breaches, warranting a revisit of this important and relevant issue with more recent data. This study aims to revisit the cost of data breach disclosures by empirically analyzing the impact of recent data breach incidents on the market value of affected firms.\u0000\u0000Design/methodology/approach\u0000The authors collect the data regarding data breach incidents among publicly traded companies in the USA listed in the S&P 500 index from 2013 to 2021.
