The data base has coding http://attrition.org/dataloss/dldoskey.html as to nature of breach that could narrow you down to this kind of relevance, but this is something that continues to evolve, and be improved upon by feedback here. I do not see in the chart a coding for the nature of the breach: * laptop gone missing * dumpster diving * hacker broke in * data managers must have been computer illiterates * data managers must have been privacy illiterates * e-mail stupidity * etc. so if you do a search of the raw data, looking for "e-mail" you going to get a lot of hits that what was breached was person's e-mail address
You make a good point - this is definitely something else we should be tracking in the DLDOS.
