New column "publication"
I'm proposing to add a new column "year of publicization" to the table. For instance the Yahoo! data breach entry has 2014 set as year (year the stolen data is of) but was brought to the public in 2016. --Fixuture (talk) 23:32, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
- Personally, I wouldn't bother adding any more complexity to the table, which could make it harder for an editor to add to or modify. Plus clicking on the source gives any earlier dates of when a hack occurred. It could also force a lot more updating work since the date of the original hack isn't always known until much later after its been analyzed. --Light show (talk) 00:31, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
I agree with adding new column. It's complex already, but the two dates are very significant. --Wazz4444 (talk) 20:37, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
Missing entries: leaks
As far as I understand it all leaks are data breaches except the ones were the leaking was done by an whistleblower from the inside who already got access to the data, right? Because it seems like many such leaks are missing from the list. (Most can be found at Category:News leaks). --Fixuture (talk) 17:58, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
