In order to study breaches, researchers can use information found on privacyrights.org. This website provides an abundance of information on the types of security breaches on all types of organizations. They have the ability to filter by specific dates to see the trends of security breaches and try to determine an increase or decrease of breaches for a certain industry. Different types of breaches such as hacks, inside breach, physical breach, card fraud, and many others can be compared to the industry in which those breaches occurred. Researchers have the option to view possible trends for specific types of organizations like retail businesses, government and military, nonprofits, education, medical, and countless others. By comparing the forms of breaches that are more common for each industry, researchers have the ability to determine what draws certain breaches to each type of organization and seek ways to protect these organizations from future data breaches. They also have the ability to view which states are more susceptible to certain types of breaches and use that information to conduct further investigation as to what prompts more data breaches to occur in those states.
