Data breaches up 100% in 2019 over 2018
2019 saw more than double the data breaches in 2018. Are data breaches increasing that rapidly or are we just getting better at identifying them?
- nodex-alex 7y agoAccording to what source?
- notlukesky 7y agoWhich source is that? And one can posit that unknown data breaches are up 900%
- AshwinDurairaj 7y agoAgree with you, it's impossible to compare numbers of data breaches. It's possible to compare reported data breaches, but every source is different, as its almost impossible to collate every single one reported or known.

- buboard 7y agosince GDPR went in effect (mid-2018) there are consequences for not reporting breaches, and it's evident in the data. Would be interesting to have a geo breakdown
- craftinator 7y agoI'd like to remind HN that a number of US politicians and institutions are currently laying the ground work for making the use of strong cryptography illegal. If they succeed, will we see an increase or a decrease in the number of sensitive data breaches? Here's a short list of the anti crypto nuts, feel free to add on: James Comey (FBI Director) Christopher Wray (FBI Director) William Barr (Attorney General) Ted Lieu (Rep California) Blake Farenthold (Rep Texas) Remember their names when you vote!
