Since Washington’s data breach notification law took effect in 2015, the Attorney General’s Office publishes an annual Data Breach Report in the fall providing analysis of the previous year’s data breach notices, as well as additional recommendations to improve protections for Washingtonians.

All of these Data Breach Reports can be found below as a PDF download.
