Abstract

Data breaches happen daily, in too many places, result in data loss including personal, health, financial information that are crucial, sensitive, and private. The cost of the data breach is not only considered as potentially damaging to the monetary penalty, but also regarding other more severe problems such as consumer confidence, social trust and personal safety. In this paper, we brush up the world’s most significant data breaches in which amount of lost records are more than 30,000 records from 2004 to 2017. From many different aspects, the data visualization technique is used to demonstrate the fact and the hidden information of the data breach phenomenon. We also employ a case study which includes the income data of the residents in the United States and the public transportation data in New York to point out the potential risk of the data breach. Based on the case study, we once again exhibit the real dangers of data breach are out of hands. Based on the analysis and visualization, we find some interesting insights which seldom researchers focus on before and it is apparently the real dangers of data breach are beyond the common imagination.
