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...
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.
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.
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.
