The Attrition.org site has now re-emerged as DataLossDB. Their mission is described as follows on their site:
“DataLossDB, formerly the Attrition.org, Data Loss Database Open Source, is an research project aimed at documenting known and reported data loss incidents world-wide. The effort is now a community one, with the move to OSF, and relies on the contributions of users like you to grow and prune the database. ”
This is a terrific new resource that will help ensure that the size and scope of data breach events, as well as those individuals that may be impacted, is made public and generally available.
