One of two prominent economic theories that can be seen in the Glass Washer Parts data breach letter to its customers is  definitely Laissez-fare economic theory because the government did not intervene right away, and in fact allowed the breach to continue while the law enforcement arm of the government observed and did not intervene.  Another prominent economic theory seen in the Glass Washer Parts data breach letter is Marxian economic theory, that those with power will exploit those without power. This is clearly demonstrated not only through the company’s failure to inform people affected right away due to the so called investigation but also in the fact that it happened and that the people with the power to commit the data breach did so and were allowed to do so for almost an entire year, further proving that those in power can retain and use that power to exploit others. The social science theories that relate to cybersecurity are those of risk benefit analysis such as used by insurance companies when determining to how to price a certain policy, likewise a company decides how much and what kind of malware protection or firewalls to invest in by performing a risk benefit analysis that is very much open to the flaws of the person performing the analysis and their understanding of the true risk.  Another social science theory that relates to cybersecurity is Illegal Enterprise Theory, which is basically where an operation is illegal but still viable because there is a demand for it. This relates to cybersecurity because we have Dark Web transactions, the selling of data, information, and credit cards, as well as ransomware that can lock up a computer system and demand payment in virtually nontraceable cryptocurrency in order to give control back to the owner of the system.  These illegal transactions can be quite lucrative and due to the lack of taxes and regulation, highly appealing to certain types of people.
