The dataloss database

I often struggled to find the statistics I required for presentations on data breaches until I found attrition.org

I liked attrition, but I love what it has evolved into! I got an email on full disclosure mailing list today announcing its change to the dataloss database. The Open Security Foundation will be running the datalossDB and I for one look forward to using it going forward!

Basically it is a central DB for all public data breaches for the past 8 years there are many ways to search the data and monthly and annual reports can can be viewed by any one.

I have to say the guys at OSF have done a great job with this!
