Need inclusion criteria for list of breaches

[edit]

At the time of this comment, the US HHS Breach portal lists 1,585 breaches affecting 500 or more individuals. Obviously, the list of breaches in this article shouldn't contain every reported breach in every country that requires such reporting. It would be wise to establish inclusion criteria before the list gets unwieldy. I suggest including events based on the number of individuals impacted as a percentage of national population. Here's how three different break points would limit inclusion for U.S. breach events (based on population from the 2010 Census and breach data from the link above):

% Population
Impacted
Individuals
Impacted
Events
Included
≥ 10% ≥ 30,934,969 1
≥ 2% ≥ 6,186,994 3
≥ 1% ≥ 3,093,497 8
