I was reading tonight on the informative Fraud, Phising, and Financial Misdeeds blog that Attrition.org might be calling it quits for their Data Loss Database - Open Source (DLDOS). <FIN> Bummer!

Looking at Attrition.org's current news, perhaps the news of DLDOS's demise  might be premature after all.

They have another news item, dataloss: A new beginning. saying they will be continuing DLDOS <SYN>. (By the way, I looked at the "partner" site mentioned in the last paragraph and see it's a ripping, somewhat risqué spoof.) As I am writing this post, I see that the current version of DLDOS database was updated Sunday 13 April 2008. Ctrl-Z my "Bummer" comment above.

Another good resource for data loss incidents is the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse's Chronology of Data Breaches.
