This paper explores the novel topic of data breach journalism and data breach news through the case of databreaches.net, a news outlet dedicated to data breaches and related cyber crime. Motivated by the issues in traditional crime news and crime journalism, the case is explored by the means of text mining. According to the results, the outlet has kept a steady publishing pace, mainly focusing on plain and short reporting but with generally high-quality source material for the news articles. Despite these characteristics, the news articles exhibit fairly strong sentiments, which is partially expected due to the presence of emotionally laden crime and the long history of sensationalism in crime news. The news site has also covered the full scope of data breaches, although many of these are fairly traditional, exposing personal identifiers and financial details of the victims. Also hospitals and the healthcare sector stand out. With these results, the paper advances the study of data breaches by considering these from the perspective of media and journalism.

翻译：本文通过专门报道数据泄露及相关网络犯罪的新闻媒体databreaches.net的案例，探讨数据泄露新闻报道与数据泄露新闻这一新兴议题。受传统犯罪新闻与犯罪新闻报道中存在的问题所驱动，本研究采用文本挖掘方法对该案例进行剖析。结果显示，该媒体保持了稳定的发布频率，主要侧重于简明扼要的报道，但其新闻文章普遍采用较高质量的原始素材。尽管具备这些特征，新闻文章仍表现出相当强烈的情感倾向——这在一定程度上是可预见的，因为犯罪事件本身带有情感负荷，且犯罪新闻历来存在煽情主义传统。该新闻网站涵盖了数据泄露事件的完整范畴，尽管其中多数属于较传统的类型，主要暴露受害者的个人身份标识与财务细节。医疗机构与医疗健康领域在此类报道中尤为突出。基于这些发现，本文从媒体与新闻学的视角推进了数据泄露相关研究。
