New Resource: Sensitive Data

Hey all,

I started this project in my free time to satisfy my own curiosity and
professional requirements, but realized that it might be useful to
others in .EDU as well.

http://www.etiolated.org

It highlights all known publicized breaches since 2000 (.edu and
everything else), and is based off the attrition.org DLDOS dataset.
It's searchable, with a fairly sophisticated lucene based search
engine, so, should be useful for research purposes or writing a report
now and then about when department X shouldn't be using social
security numbers any longer.  I launched it about 3 weeks ago.

Hopefully you find it useful.  It's not affiliated with or endorsed by
my employer in anyway.  Nor is it commercial in any way shape or form.
Just a side project.
