                                      Despite the rate at which data breaches occur and are reported in the media, there seems to be little information about how and when they are resolved. This post examines the discourse on data breaches in India with respect to their  historical forms, with a focus on how the specific terminology to describe data security incidents has evolved in mainstream news media reportage.
