Reply to comment by vk6flab in [OC] How data breaches happen doesn't match up with what people see/read by hivesystems

It's not really a useful visualisation though and the title of the submission is a bit scarier than it should be. Some mismatch between what happens in the industry and what is covered in the news is expected as "miscellenaous errors" is probably not as exciting for most readers as system intrusion. If you look at the mismatch with academia, things get worse: it's not super clear if those keywords were cited as examples in the academic papers, or if they were the principal topic the papers were addressing, or wheter they were used as the easiest benchmark/baseline to show an idea works etc...

Without explaining some factors like these, the figure doesn't really teach us anything and given the title, it looks like they just want to click bait you to go to their website.

I understand your points, but that could be fixed with enforcing the data source requirements.

So far I've not seen any data sources for this post.

Those are good points. They are covered in the page cited in the infographic. I like to include all detail within a visualization but then people tell us the graphic is "too busy".
