In what has become a regular occurance, companies, universities, and various government entities are collecting your personal information (sometimes without your knowledge or consent), and subsequently letting it fall into the hands of the bad guys. This is your personal information; name, address, Social Security number, credit card number, medical history, and more. Unfortunately, this page is updated quite frequently and the list continues to grow.
Attrition.org's Data Loss Mail List is available for news and discussion about breaches of personally identifying information. The Data Loss Database - Open Source, is available for public use (please see our disclaimer at the bottom of the page), and Etiolated.org uses the database for a search engine and comment forum. Privacy Rights Clearinghouse is also an excellent source of additional information regarding data loss, identity theft, and other privacy-related issues. Emergent Chaos provides information and insightful commentary on data breaches. The Identity Theft Resource Center is an organization specializing in identity theft victimization and also has an annotated breach list. Lastly, you can track all of this information disclosure through our Data Loss RSS feed.
And why do we do all of this? Part of the answer can be found here.
