From chronicling the incident where 160 lap tops were stolen from the FBI in 2002 to pretty much any incident that happened (of course the stolen Veteran Affairs lap top is included as well). Check out the map here.

As expected, most of the incidents happened in the east coast, but there are a fair number spread out through the mid-west and some in California. So, what does this map tell us – besides being a neat resource that has captured all government-related breaches and hacks? It tells us that data breaches, hacking into sites and other cyber crimes against the government can happen anywhere and anytime.

What do you all think about this?
