Ask HN: Have major security breeches been less common lately?
5 hours agoby Wowfunhappy
A few years ago, it felt like we had another news story of a major security breech every other day or something. (I'm exaggerating of course but the stories were a regular occurrence.)
It occurred to me today that I couldn't remember the last time I'd seen a story like this.
Have news stories about major security breeches been less common during the (approximately) past two years compared to the two years before that?
I don't know how I would go about verifying this--I'd have to find a way to classify a "big news story" and "major security breech" and then go back through the news--but I'm wondering if others have noticed it.
If it's not just me, the next question would be why. Have actual security breeches gone down, or just reporting on it?
