My thoughts exactly. You have to report even ENCRYPTED backup tapes being

lost, but you do not have to report that un-encrypted data was on a computer connected to the internet for years where it is 1000x more likely to have been compromised. Man, imagine if you have the data on a Windows server connected to the internet. We are talking 1,000,000,000x more likely. No reporting required. Someone could have hacked the compuer 1000 times without the knowledge of the owner (anyone using a Windows server is typically clueless). Still, no reporting necessary as long as you don't know about a break in.
