Breach List 2008 Q2

Posted in: ITRC Surveys & Studies, Press Releases
The ITRC data breach count has reached an all-time high.   Between January 1st and June 27th, the total number of data breaches recorded by the ITRC is 342, more than 69% greater than the same time period in 2007.   The actual number of breaches is more than likely higher, due to underreporting, and the fact that some of the breaches reported, which affect multiple businesses, are listed as a single event.
