I work in the security industry and I have heard of data breaches but never a "data spill". The redirect from "Data Breach"->"Data Spill" is backwards.
The first paragraph that explains the name is "ironic" does not satisfy me or make any sense. So I'm going to switch this. DouglasHeld ( talk) 17:21, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
There is a list of incidents by number of records, with references, at http://datalossdb.org/, including many large spills not listed here.-- Langhorner ( talk) 22:41, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
Source #1 has a broken link. Many of the examples of data breaches link to this, so alternate sources need to be found. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Treyofdenmark ( talk • contribs) 02:31, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
I removed a section about a data breach relating for four million U.S. Federal employees. It was written in a politically editorial style. However, it was certainly relevant, and it would be good to include a section on government data breaches that sticks closer to just the facts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.191.31.200 ( talk) 14:04, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
I'm wondering if it would be best to remove the "Major incidents" section and instead move its content to a new column of the table of the List of data breaches. What do you think?

Unless there isn’t enough information on this topic (which I highly doubt given how long ago it was), I believe we should add that here.

Since Wikipedia is not a collection of news stories, items in the "Major incidents" section should only include those with their own Wikipedia article (thus, "major") and not just any of hundreds of breaches that happen to have a news story written about them somewhere. I'm going to start cleaning this up in the next few days. -- ZimZalaBim talk 15:45, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
Should the recent Traderie data breach be added? Here are some sources I found: https://techcrunch.com/2023/09/07/traderie-a-marketplace-for-in-game-items-alerts-users-to-data-breach/ https://www.scmagazine.com/brief/data-breach-disclosed-by-traderie https://www.techradar.com/pro/security/gaming-marketplace-traderie-alerts-users-to-data-breach
Others were Reddit post, not really notable sources, but still gave a hint many were heavily alarmed: https://www.reddit.com/r/RoyaleHigh_Roblox/comments/16g76ws/there_has_been_a_huge_traderie_data_breach_and/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Nookazon/comments/16b6ekw/is_this_just_me/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Diablo_2_Resurrected/comments/16avuc2/traderie_has_had_a_data_leak/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Diablo_2_Resurrected/comments/166ktzs/traderie_compromised/ Cometkeiko ( talk) 17:47, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

Starting to look at this one. Initial impression is that it's surprisingly short, given what feels a large topic. Will be looking at broadness rather than comprehensiveness, so just an initial note. Another first impression is that it seems written from a US-centric perspective (and the 2005 date here contradicts the linked
Security breach notification laws, have not yet checked sources to dig into this). The sources look modern and reliable, the images are all PD and created by the nominator. This was a recent complete overhaul so stability is not immediately obvious, although it seems a clear improvement on the previous version and the overhaul was performed by another editor. I likely have limited to no access to the majority of these sources, but will have a more detailed look at this later.

Apologies for the delay, took awhile to figure out the article and its sources. Thank you for the materials, used for some of the spot-checks and other notes below:
Definition
History and prevalence
Perpretrators
Causes
Breach lifecycle
Consequences
Laws
On a general note, there are various examples of breaches scattered throughout the text. It is a surprise that Pegasus (spyware) is not one of them, given its prominence. Overall, the writing of the current text gives off an odd feeling, like a textbook rather than an encyclopaedia. Some specific mentions of this made above, but it's a noticeable tone throughout. At the same time, many areas feel truncated, touching only obliquely on that their topic of discussion is. There is some room for expansion in the body and the lead. Much of the information is US-focused. Ideally it should be globalized for comprehensiveness, however at the very least the facts and figures constrained to the US should clearly reflect this in their presentation in the article. It would be good to get a picture on how closely these items reflect the whole sources corpus used. No issues specifically found for NPOV, stability, or image licensing.
