Journal Entry Week 3

The website privacyrights.org is an amazing tool to help researchers study data breaches. It has some valuable information, such as the location of the breaches, what type of breaches, what companies were targeted, and who all is affected by the breaches. With information like this, the researchers can find the similarities between these breaches and start to show trends. When the trends are discovered, it can create a solid base to start deep diving and help figure out who is at risk and how to help produce preventative measures to help other companies protect themselves as well as their customers. It also shows the states that are most affected by these breaches which can help them focus in and hopefully find these breaches and put a stop to them.
