Methodology

Focused, not exhaustive. Incidents must include meaningful KYC or identity data—not only passwords, usernames, or email addresses.

Counts keep their units. People, documents, image files, and database records are displayed separately unless a source explicitly equates them.

Claims stay qualified. Unconfirmed criminal claims are labeled reported or omitted from the aggregate. Sources can update as investigations develop.
