Patterns across the records published so far. The dataset grows as more reporting is processed, so these figures describe the Index, not the world.
Based on incidents currently recorded in the Data Incident Index. Many breaches are never reported publicly, so this dataset does not represent every data breach.
Evidence before conclusions.
Every record is built from public reporting and regulator sources and classified using a consistent, published methodology.
Counts describe what has been documented in this dataset, never an estimate of how often data breaches occur.
- Sourced
- Every record links the public reporting or regulator material it was built from.
- Graded
- Every record carries an evidence status. A record built from a single report stays Reported until stronger evidence is cited.
- Reviewed or marked
- A record names its reviewer only once an editor has checked its sources. Until then it is shown as unreviewed.
- Classified
- Records carry a breach-cause category and, where the source supports it, an industry and an organization.
- Citable
- APA, MLA, BibTeX and plain-text citations on every incident page.
- Correctable
- Anyone, including the organizations named, can submit a correction at no cost.
