Researchers may use the Privacy Rights website to study how many breaches have occurred in certain states and also the most common types of security breaches. They can also study the most common target companies of security breaches. This information may be helpful for researchers to identify the common trends and issues with security breaches in certain states and companies, and then report as well as fix the issues of security breaches by learning from past security incidents. Researchers can also share the data toward the public to inform individuals of common types of cyber-attacks toward certain companies and industries.
