No matter how correctly a site does their work, there's always a chance of an issue. So how we handle a breach should also be looked at. For example, how can data be held hostage? You just treat the failure as if your production disks all died at once, restore from your latest offline backups, and take your lumps. You should NEVER pay a hostage-taker like that city in Florida has apparently voted to do.

HIPPA violation waiting to happen. Which in the US, carries potentially
severe consequences.
