This is a list of data breaches, using data compiled from various sources, including press reports, government news releases and mainstream news articles. The list includes those involving the theft or compromise of 30,000 or more records, although many more smaller breaches occur continually. Breaches of large organizations where the number of records is still unknown are also listed. The various methods used in the breaches are also listed, with hacking being the most common.
Most breaches occur in North America. It is estimated that the average cost of a data breach will be over $150 million by 2020, with the global annual cost forecast to be $2.1 trillion.[1][2] It is estimated that in 2015 alone, 707 million records were exposed as a result of data breaches.[3] Vigilante.pw lists over 2,100 websites which have had their databases breached, containing over 2 billion user entries in total.
