Limitations

Breach Gazette explains published evidence; it is not a complete breach census or a security rating.

Incomplete by design

Official registers have different thresholds, windows, revision practices, and named-entity roles. Some records can disappear from rolling public windows.

No independent verification

Breach Gazette does not independently verify events, causation, population counts, remediation, or compliance.

Candidate links

Cross-source links begin as evidence-backed candidates. Reviewed confirmations still preserve every source record and do not establish legal or factual identity beyond the displayed evidence.
