Explore this visualisation and ask yourself the following questions:
	• what hacks do you recall happening and what surprised you?
	• what is the likely impact of a data breach and who will this hurt the most?
	• what steps could a company or user take to prevent this from happening or minimise the impact?
	• what is the value of visualisations like this?
