How Reliable Is That Stat?https://www.bankinfosecurity.com/blogs/60-hacked-small-businesses-fail-how-reliable-that-stat-p-2464The fact that we can't find who is responsible for these numbers is kind of the point of having record keeping. Just to put this claim in context in 2015 the US had 28.8 million Small businesses (https://www.sba.gov/sites/default/files/advocacy/United_States.pdf)If half of those businesses were hacked, as claimed that would be 14.4million Breaches. If 60% of those went out of business, that would be 8.64 million businesses folding, which you might expect would be noticed economically. In particular, it would mean that around half of the US population lost their job. I suspect that we might have noticed that.
