After slowing down in 2022, this year looks to be record-setting for total data breaches. According to the Identity Theft Resource Center1 , there are already 2,116 data compromises as of Q3, surpassing last year’s total. Notably, Experian has supported 2,294 data breaches alone pointing to possible under-reporting, so the numbers could be much higher. According to our internal analytics, more than 70 million consumers globally were impacted by a data breach from our client base in 2023—up 30 percent since last year.
