PrivacyRights.org seemed to be a site dedicated to notifying companies of new attacks that are possible, have happened, and also laws that companies should be aware of. On top of all these main features of the site it had a database of all past attacks on companies. This database had the name of the company, the state it was in, the date of the breach, type of attack, type of company, and location of the company, just to name some of what was on the database. With all this researchers could us this to perform multiple studies because it’s unbiased raw data gathered for them. Just one example is, they could do a study on what types of companies get what type of attacks the most.
