	Assignment 3.1 This assignment is worth 50 points. Read through the Data Breach Report links above. This might take a little while, and you may want to make notes to yourself while reading. Look at the data for all three years and provide a summary of at least five major trends identified over the last three years. Include in your posting your opinion regarding at least 3 of the trends. For example, did the number of viruses rise? Fall? Why? You still need outside references, so you may want to investigate and determine whether the stated trends are reported by others, or provide more information on those trends.
