It seems every week there’s a new data breach to read (or tweet) about. I recently discovered this lovely visualization of the growing amount of private data about people like you and me that is being exposed. You can filter and/or sort the data by industry sector, method of leak, and data sensitivity. It makes for a beautifully depressing coffee break.
