56 Must Know Data Breach
Data breaches are getting bigger, hackers are getting savvier, and the amount of compromised data is unfortunately on the rise. A quick look at data breach trends shows that hackers are mostly motivated by money to acquire data and that personal information is a highly valued type of data to compromise. It’s also apparent that companies are still not prepared enough for breaches even though they are becoming more commonplace.
In fact, studies find that companies still keep thousands of files unprotected and open for anyone inside the company to access.
We’ve put together 56 data breach statistics to illustrate how they have evolved over the years, plus we outline how costly and damaging each breach can be for companies and consumers.
History of Data Breaches
Computer viruses and cybersecurity incidents have greatly heightened in severity over the years. Take a look at how data breaches have progressed and how dangerous they are today.
- The first computer virus, known as “The Creeper,” was discovered in the early 1970s (History of Information)
- The largest insider attack occurred from 1976 to 2006 when Greg Chung of Boeing stole $2 billion worth of aerospace docs and gave them to China (NBC)
- Yahoo holds the record for the largest data breach of all time with 3 billion compromised accounts
- AOL was the first victim of phishing attacks in 1996 (Phishing)
- Cyber-attacks are considered among the top three risks to global stability (World Economic Forum)
- As of 2015, 25 percent of global data required security but was not protected (Statista)
- Social media data breaches accounted for 56 percent of data breaches in the first half of 2018 (IT Web)
Cost of a Data Breach
It’s no secret that data breaches are costly for a business. See just how expensive it is to experience a breach and what elements cause the cost to rise.
- The average cost of a data breach is $3.86 million (IBM)
- The average cost per lost or stolen record in a data breach is $148
- The average cost savings with an incident response team is $14 per record
- Companies that contained a breach in less than 30 days saved more than $1 million compared to those that took more than 30 days
- The extensive use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices increased the cost per compromised record by $5
- The cost of lost business after a breach for US organizations adds up to $4.2 million
- Notification costs after a breach for US organizations add up to $740,000
- A mega breach of 1 million records has an average total cost of $40 million
- A mega breach of 50 million records has an average total cost of $350 million
- Hospitals spend 64 percent more annually on advertising over the two years following a breach (American Journal of Managed Care)
Data Breach Risk
There are different factors that put companies at higher risk for a breach, like leaving folders open and unprotected. Some industries are also more susceptible than others. For example, healthcare organizations are the most breached industry. Peruse through the stats below to see what can put you at risk.
- 88 percent of companies with more than 1 million folders have 100,000 folders accessible by every employee. open to everyone (Varonis)
- 30 percent of companies have over 1,000 sensitive folders open to everyone (Varonis)
- 57 percent of companies have over 1,000 folders with inconsistent permissions
- 3 percent of a company’s folders are protected
- 58 percent of data breach victims are small businesses (Verizon)

- Ransomware attacks are down by 20 percent since 2017 (Symantec)
- A cyber attack occurs every 39 seconds (University of Maryland)
- The larger the data breach, the less likely the organization will have another breach in the following two years (IBM)
- 27 percent of data breaches are caused by human error (IBM)
- Card-not-present fraud is 81 percent more prevalent than point-of-sale fraud (Javelin)
- Nearly one in ten targeted attack groups use malware to destroy or disrupt business operations
Data Breach Prevention
Cybersecurity professionals are taking note of these costs and risks. See how the cybersecurity industry is shifting budget and priorities to protect their organizations from cyber attacks.
- 63 percent of companies have implemented a biometric system or plan to onboard one (Veridium)
