I mean if there are two this year, then being second biggest doesn't mean much?

Right?! If the first breach included 2 records and this only 1, it would still be the "second biggest" breach of the year.

But, the necessary context is right in the first paragraph:

> ...more than 3.1 million patients in the United States...

So to clarify, "We're not even three full months into 2023, and 3.1 million records is the second biggest?" which is quite alarming.
