About this report

This is our live view of the Data Breach Chronology. Use the period selector (YTD, Q1–Q4, H1/H2) to see the slice you need. We track notifications (what regulators or affected people receive) and group related notices into single breach events to avoid double-counting; because notices roll out over weeks or months, one incident can generate many.

The visuals show trends over time, distributions by breach and organization type, the kinds of sensitive data exposed, and the sources we monitor—plus at-a-glance comparisons to the previous year and the five-year average.
