Researchers use sites like PrivacyRights.org to expand their knowledge of data breaches. These sites help researchers in finding patterns in breaches that may be common to the general public. This helps researchers develop and implement security protocols to mitigate data breaches of their consumers. these sites also help researchers understand the impact of data breaches from an individual standpoint and a business standpoint. They can examine these types of breaches to enhance the security of websites by requiring two-step authentication.
