   Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), over half of the
   population in the USA might have been affected by security breaches
   since Oct 2009. This study provided analysis of the data, presenting the
   numbers of individuals affected in one breach and the number of
   breaches.
   Methods: Statistical analysis has been conducted with visualizations.
   Visualizations include categorized histograms and tables. Histograms are
   presented as bar charts with categories: location and breach type.
   Tables show case counts (across top 10 breaches and those with more than
   one million stolen records) in successive years and covered entity
   types. All statistics were calculated with the use of package R.
   Analyzed data were collected from Oct 2009 till Jun 2017.
   Results: This study presents evidence of health data breaches taking
   place at an unprecedented level. Medical records of at least 173 million
   of people, gathered since Oct 2009, have been breached and might have
   adversely influenced over half of the population in the USA.
   Conclusion: Results of this study are expected to motivate public care
   authorities to develop similar laws and regulations as the USA while
   striving for better law enforcement. It takes a considerable amount of
   time to educate public and it takes substantial financial resources to
   prevent data breaches.}},

   been used. One of the controversial points of the assumed approach was
   that the weights of these criteria were arbitrary. The main focus of
