Data Breaches

We are happy to announce our latest community project, Databreach.es (https://databreach.es/). With this project, we strive to create insights into global data breaches. Which companies were breached, what kind of data got lost and how did these companies handle the situation. We deemed January 28, the "Data Protection Day" in Europe (globally referred to as "Privacy Day") as the perfect timing to launch this new initiative. With this project, we want to present data breach information in an easy to read and searchable format. In DataBreach.es you will find information on data breaches from all over the world. For this initial release, we aggregated data from Enforcement Tracker (https://enforcementtracker.com/), HIBP (https://haveibeenpwned.com/Pwned...) and the GDPR Tracker (http://www.gdprtracker.io/). In the future, as we add more data sources, we will aim to extract even more insights (average time to report, breaches per year, breaches per country, ...) We will soon start looking for additional volunteers and more contributors to enrich this repository.

Hey Hunters, Thank you for checking out our latest release and please let us know your feedback. We are going to add data breaches in the coming days to consolidate our database. If you have any data source that you would like to see in there or if you want to take part in this project, let us know. This data breach repository will also power our next project (ComplianceRadar). Stay tuned!

We started this project with the idea to help people get more insights in Data Breaches that happened to many companies around the world. There's a lot of information on Data Breaches out there, you we believe by putting it all together, it could become a useful source. Now this is not about naming and blaming the companies that had a breach. We believe it could probably happen to most companies around the world. The goal of this repository is to help people get more insights and learn from these experiences. As a compliance & privacy startup, we believe it is key to create more transparency. We have gathered only publicly available data and aim to add many more data sources in the near future. We tried to put the information in an easily readable and searchable format so it becomes valuable for all of you. This first release is far from complete, nor is it finished. Its merely a starting point. I would like to thank the volunteers that helped us realise this new community project and would happily welcome other contributors to this project. Please reach out if you would want to contribute.
