[Dataloss] Statistics

[lyger]

Since the question of statistics about data loss incidents has recently 
been raised, I thought it might be time to start a tally.

http://attrition.org/~lyger/dataloss.htm

This sample page starts at the beginning of 2005 (pre-ChoicePoint) and 
stops at the end of May 2005.  Any fields noted with an "x" are unknown at 
this time.  Since the original format of this file is a .csv, hopefully it 
can be spread out into more detailed columns that can eventually be 
converted into a very simple database.  For instance, "type" can be 
differentiated between "computers" and "laptops" if that would provide 
more detailed statistics.

Any suggestions or comments are welcome.
