Where does the Johnson Controls case file come from?

Every entry is taken from the breach report Johnson Controls lodged with the Oregon Attorney General. Nothing here is estimated.

Why do the incident date and the report date differ?

Companies usually investigate before they report. The gap between the two dates shows how long that took.

What does the records-affected figure count?

It is the number the company gave the state. It can cover residents of that state only, so the national total may be higher.

Does this case file change over time?

Yes. When a company files an update or a new state publishes its copy of the report, the dates and counts here are refreshed.
