Cool graphical depiction of data theft incidents

databreach.jpg

As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Now the folks over at IBM are proving it with their ultra-cool Many Eyes project. using information on the size of data breaches culled from attrition.org, Many Eyes is offering a visual representation of a few of the larger data breaches in recent years. you need to do a bit of clicking to link the circular blob back to the actual breach, but that big sucker in the middle of the graph with the June, 2005, date is CardSystems Inc.

Many eyes is a project of IBM's Visual Communications Lab, and provides free tools, via their Web site, for creating your own cool graphics using any data set you want.
