Forwarded from: lyger <lyger (at) attrition.org> http://attrition.org/dataloss/dldos.html Wed Aug 30 18:27:24 EDT 2006 Since July of 2005, attrition.org has been tracking data loss and data theft incidents not just from the United States, but across the world. Our archives go back to the year 2000, and with over 142 MILLION records compromised in over 300 incidents across six years, we would finally like to introduce a very basic and rudimentiary database that will assist others in tracking these incidents. DLDOS (Data Loss Database - Open Source) is a simple flat comma seperated value file that can be imported into your database of choice, whether it be MySQL, Microsoft Access, or Oracle (good luck). We provide the date, the company that reported the breach, the type of data impacted, the number of records impacted, third party companies involved, and a few other sortable items that may be of interest. At this point, attrition.org is not hosting an actual database itself, but the raw data is free and available for use as long as attrition.org is credited for the use of said data. Really, we're not trying to be jerks, but if you're going to use our data in your research, be it a web site or paper written for a commercial entity, just give us a shout out please. Attrition.org's main data loss page can be found here: http://attrition.org/dataloss/ Attrition.org's Data Loss Mail List information: http://attrition.org/security/dataloss.html Please feel free to use this information, build on it, grow on it, and share it. Updates to the raw data will be provided by attrition.org weekly, if not daily. Share and share alike; distribute and learn. _________________________________ HITBSecConf2006 - Malaysia The largest network security event in Asia 32 internationally renowned speakers 7 tracks of hands-on technical training sessions.
