Intelligence Summary
A new public index tracks reported material data breaches. The project is built by long-time cybersecurity executive Richard Bird. It is intended for security professionals, journalists, policymakers, and general audiences. The index focuses on documenting breach occurrences rather than aggregating or calculating the total financial losses. Users and organizations should treat breach records as evidence of impact patterns, while separately validating their own loss and recovery estimates.
