The Economist named data the world’s most valuable resource, and that, of course, is still true today.
But just as data creates and powers more and more lucrative industries, it also caught the interest of cybercriminals on the dark web.
Personal and company data - names, addresses, Social Security numbers, credit card details, login credentials, or other sensitive information - can be used for anything from identity theft, financial fraud to many other malicious activities.
As a result, it’s no surprise that data breaches are on the rise, with an increasing number of companies of all shapes and sizes facing information theft and data leaks.
How Often Do Data Breaches Happen?
Data breaches happen every day. Here are the numbers:
- Over 4,100 publicly disclosed data breaches happened last year alone. That’s roughly 11 breaches per day, and that’s based only on the publicly disclosed data.
- Nearly 109 million accounts were breached in just the 3rd quarter of last year.
- It takes companies an average of 241 days to identify and contain a breach.
- 60% of breaches involve a human element like phishing or stolen credentials (Verizon 2025 DBIR).
- On average, a data breach costs companies $4.44 million (IBM’s 2025 Cost of Data Breach Report).
