Ask HN: Have major security breeches been less common lately?

3•Wowfunhappy•1h ago
A few years ago, it felt like we had another news story of a major security breech every other day or something. (I'm exaggerating of course but the stories were a regular occurrence.)

It occurred to me today that I couldn't remember the last time I'd seen a story like this.

Have news stories about major security breeches been less common during the (approximately) past two years compared to the two years before that?

I don't know how I would go about verifying this--I'd have to find a way to classify a "big news story" and "major security breech" and then go back through the news--but I'm wondering if others have noticed it.

If it's not just me, the next question would be why. Have actual security breeches gone down, or just reporting on it?

Intuition tells me that these have not gone down, but it’s merely a combination, of not being discovered/disclosed and that reporting focused on us politics and regional conflict.
