http://attrition.org/news/content/08-06-02.001.html As of this writing, Attrition.org's Data Loss Database - Open Source (DLDOS) officially has 1,000 entries. The Connecticut Department of Labor (un?)graciously lost documents containing the names, addresses, and Social Security numbers of about 2,100 people, which places them into the database with a unique identifier (UID) of DL-1000. DLDOS includes data breaches from every year since 2000 with a sharp spike in numbers beginning in 2005, so we're not really surprised that we reached this "milestone" number shortly before the third anniversary of the data loss project. Still, it's something of a bittersweet event to commemorate; we would rather not have to put dozens of breaches every month on a web page, in a database, and sent to a mailing list of about 1,400 subscribers. If it wasn't a problem, we wouldn't... but it is, so we do.
