Data Breaches

Privacyrights.org gives a ton of information about recent data breaches that go as far back as 2006. The most pertinent information from the spreadsheet is the type of attack, type of organization, total records, and description of the incident. Researchers could use these results to find trends in data breaches. These trends could lead to figuring out how these breaches were done and possibly how to prevent them. Researchers could also see certain companies that might not be as secure as they should be. This could then help make companies better and more secure.
