The Year Of The Mega Data Breach

According to the Identity Theft Resource Center, 2009 will be known as the year of the mega data breach. Even though there were 50% less data breaches last year, the sheer amount of data lost made it the worst year on record.

In 2009, a small number of data leaks exposed more personal information than ever before. Glance at 2009's data breach statistics, and you might think the IT world had scored a rare win in the endless struggle against cybercrime.
