I'm not sure you could cover up a data breach that easily. Those data dumps are going to be sold on the black market eventually, and I speculate that in many cases government agencies will be able to identify unannounced breaches. Slap a 10x (or even 100x) fine on companies whose data breaches are discovered independently and covering stuff up won't look like such a good idea anymore.
