1.) Over 3,000 corporations, charity groups, and government agencies reported data breaches. The majority of the accounts were exposed due to deliberate hacking, which accounted for 40% of the 5,000 occurrences.
2.) It drops By 20% within the 4 years. It goes at a steady pace then drops.
3.) It's a lot simpler. Everything, including databases, is now connected to the internet. This makes it much easier for anyone with the right skill set to access this data from anywhere in the world, with very little equipment or personnel, which is why data breaches caused by hackers are far more common than other types of incidents that would necessitate a lot more resources to access the same data.
4.) Another day, hackers claim responsibility for yet another big data leak. A hacker organization known as ShinyHunters said that it was auctioning 70 million sets of sensitive data reportedly obtained from AT&T only days after a breach at T-Mobile exposed roughly 53 million people's personal information. They are also interested in credit cards. If this trend continues, our social security and life will be jeopardized.
5.)Financial and payment systems have evolved over thousands of years, despite the fact that they are typically regarded of as new phenomenon. Over that time, the way transactions are carried out has changed dramatically, but the core goals have not. For instance, the economic tasks performed by Renaissance Italy's first modern banks are still relevant today.
Hope this helps took a while lol :)
