The sources used are based on the notion that CyberPrivacy pertains to data breaches on personal, business and government data. The aim of visual data and the description of information below is to allow for better understanding. The purpose of the carefully selected data is to show the importance of Cyber Privacy and how it effects everyone, especially in our modern day and age. Organizations that collected this information include, The State of Washington and California Attorney General's Office.
Washington law requires entities impacted by a data breach to notify the Attorney General’s Office (AGO) when more than 500 Washingtonians personal information was compromised as a result of the breach. This dataset is a collection of various statistics that have been derived from these notices, and is the source of data used to produce the AGO’s Annual Data Breach Report.
California experiences a high number of data breaches each year, making it a major target for cyberattacks. California law requires a business or state or local agency to notify any California resident whose unencrypted personal information, as defined, was acquired, or reasonably believed to have been acquired, by an unauthorized person. Reports to the California Department of Justice show that many incidents involve hacking, phishing, or ransomware and often expose sensitive personal data like Social Security numbers and financial information. Because only large breaches must be reported, the actual number of incidents is likely even higher.
