This question will be resolved using Privacy Rights Clearinghouse's Chronology of Data Breaches. The relevant data can be found by selecting 'Hacking or Malware (HACK)' as the type of breach to display, selecting '2017' as the year, downloading the 'Data Breach File', and then counting the number of entries, for all organizations, in which 'Date Made Public' falls in September 2017. The question will be suspended on 30 September 2017 and scored using data downloaded from the online chronology on October 31.
