Per capita cost is defined as the total cost of data breach divided by the size of the data breach in terms of the number of lost or stolen records. Malicious or criminal attacks that resulted in data theft include: malware, theft of data-bearing devices, malicious insiders such as rogue employees or contractors and SQL injection, phishing (including spear phishing) and other Internet-based attacks.
