Psychotherapy Center Vastaamo has just declared bankruptcy. This is a direct result of them getting hacked.
It is actually very rare for companies to fold just because they get hacked, even if they get hacked really badly. Ashley Madison recovered. Global Payments recovered. Equifax recovered. Solarwinds looks like it's going to recover too.
In general, companies survive getting hacked. The CEOs, CIOs and CISOs might get fired but companies recover. Even their stock values seem to rebound eventually.
The only cases I can recall where companies went bankrupt because they were hacked are DigiNotar, DistributeIT, Cloud Nine ISP and now, Vastaamo.
I wrote this in 2011, about companies that went under after getting hacked: archive.f-secure.com/weblog/archive…

The Finnish national Covid-19 contact tracing mobile app (by the @THLorg agency) has now been out for a month. Some notes:
The app has been downloaded 2.2 million time so far (Finland has 5.5 million people). We’ve had 1800 confirmed infected persons during this time. Of those, 600 persons were users of the app, and used the app to warn their potential contacts.
One of the people who received an exposure notification via the app was our prime minister. She quarantined, and tested healthy later.
