Saturday Security: Data Breaches Hit a Record High and We’re Not Being Told Why

 


Data breaches hit an all-time high in 2025 — but fewer people were notified. Why? Because attackers didn’t stop. They changed tactics. According to the Identity Theft Resource Center’s 20th Annual Report, U.S. organizations reported 3,322 data compromises, a 79% increase in five years. Instead of massive single breaches, attackers spread out — hitting more companies, more quietly. Even worse, 70% of breach notices didn’t explain how the breach happened, leaving people unable to assess risk or take action. This week’s Saturday Security Story breaks down what’s really happening — and why resilience matters more than headlines. Stay curious. Stay prepared. https://www.idtheftcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/2025-ITRC-Annual-Data-Breach-Report.pdf https://www.databreachtoday.com/data-breaches-in-america-hit-all-time-record-high-in-2025-a-30624
