"Breaches Down 51%, Exposed Records Set New Record With 36 billion So Far"

Researchers at Risk Based Security have found that there were 2,935 publicly reported breaches in the first three quarters of 2020, meaning breaches are down 51 percent from the year before.  However, the number of records exposed since last year has increased to a staggering 36 billion. The researchers believe that the sharp increase in records exposed this year is because adversaries are using ransomware attacks much more frequently.
