  • Record-count hygiene — BreachHistory indexes actor-cited figures separately from company-confirmed totals; read each row's technicalWriteup before treating counts as fact.
  • 2026 monitoring — New disclosures roll into this timeline as they are verified or labeled unverified per catalog policy.
