Annual Stolen Record from Breaches and Hack in Million 2004-2023

In the digital era, our lives are increasingly intertwined with a myriad of digital platforms, applications, and devices, weaving a complex web of data transactions that span the globe. This digital interconnectivity, while fostering unprecedented convenience and innovation, has also heightened the vulnerability of personal identity data.

Over the last two decades, this vulnerability has been starkly evidenced by the leakage of more than 16 billion identity records through data breaches and hacks, with a worrying trend showing that nearly 50% of these incidents occurred in the last five years.

Notably, 6 out of every 10 stolen records are related to web services, technology platforms, and applications, underscoring the critical security challenges within these domains.
