Journal #3 Data Breaches

Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, a nonprofit organization dedicated to allowing easy access of information related to internet security and privacy. Has an archive which extends from present day to February 2nd, 2005, from 2020 to present day alone, there have been a reported 4,843 breaches reported in the United States alone alongside almost 143 million records being impacted alongside these data breaches. More often than not, these data breaches affect banking companies and email service providers the most. I believe the information provided by the archive can help with determining how most breaches occur and what information is most often prioritized. In addition, I believe that additional insight into these breaches can help strengthen future policies against cyberthreats by determining potential weakpoints in an organizations policies.
