In the recent analysis of public information on 70 breaches, the most
interesting findings included:

* The largest volume of data breach incidents occurred in the education
sector (46 percent)

* Fifty-seven percent of the identities breached were in the financial
services sector

* Almost 70 percent of the breached occurrences were because someone
targeted the organization through hacking or some other method to steal
information about consumers

* Of the publicly-reported data breaches during the study period,
77 percent were "identity-level," meaning personal identifiers such as
names and Social Security numbers were breached

* The majority of the identity-level breaches, 38 out of 54, were
intentional , meaning the breach appeared to be the result of a
deliberate theft of identity information from an electronic database

"This high proportion of identity-level breaches suggests that criminals
know exactly what they are targeting since identity-level information is most
profitable for committing identity theft," said Mike Cook, ID Analytics'
co-founder and vice president of product .
"Breaches differ, and the risk to consumers and organizations varies
considerably based on the type and scope of the data breach," said Bruce
Hansen, chairman and CEO of ID Analytics. The ID Network is in use
daily by over half the credit and retail card issuer market in the US, as well
as leading wireless and online consumer finance companies.
