The Identity Theft Resource Center has a running list of organizations who have data breaches. The first half of 2008 saw 342 data breaches for a rise of 69% over last year. The question is whether this is a result of more strict disclosure laws or worse security.

The breakdown of breaches for this year are 36.8% general business, 21.3% education, 17.0% governments, 14.9% health card and 10% financial institutions.
