NUMBER OF INCIDENTS<br />
• Healthcare and education<br />
sectors ranked top for<br />
number of data breaches,<br />
making up just over<br />
50 percent of all data<br />
breaches. However, retail<br />
and the government sectors<br />
represent more than half of<br />
the identities exposed.<br />
• This indicates that the<br />
sectors responsible for the<br />
most data breaches don’t<br />
necessarily result in the<br />
largest caches of stolen<br />
identities.
