A researcher’s job is to study a topic by analyzing, collecting, and interpreting data. The PrivacyRights.org website gives researchers years of data collection of data breaches. This includes when it happened, how it happened, and who it happened to. For a researcher this is a significant amount of data to have in front of them. By using this data, they can help predict upcoming data breaches and even what methods by assessing temporal patterns. Researchers can also use this data to find the most popular data breaches and where they occurred. By studying this they can help other companies assess their weak points and what may be leaving them open for a potential threat.
