Visit PrivacyRights.org to see the types of publicly available information about data breaches. How might researchers use this information to study breaches? Enter a paragraph in your journal.

The PrivacyRights website gives researchers detailed insights into *reported public* data breaches within the United States over the course of 17 years. These data breaches are broken down by type of breach (example: Hack) and type of organization (example: Government) as well as location. Researchers can narrow down what location the most people have been affected, what organizations have been hit the hardest, and how often they occur. Another helpful addition to the site is the break down of laws state by state. This gives researchers more information on what is allowed vs what isn’t in regard to cyberlaw.
