In 2024, significant data breaches have already resulted in over 1 billion stolen records.

The data was not taken from AT&T's systems directly but from an account with Snowflake. Change Healthcare was hacked, exposing sensitive health data of a substantial proportion of Americans due to a lack of multi-factor authentication. Synnovis in the UK suffered a ransomware attack, leading to widespread outages and the theft of data related to 300 million patient interactions. Snowflake was involved in a major breach affecting companies like Ticketmaster, Advance Auto Parts, and TEG, with stolen credentials leading to the theft of millions of records. These breaches highlight the ongoing challenges in data security and the potential risks faced by individuals and organizations due to cyberattacks. The consequences of these breaches are far-reaching and could have long-lasting effects on the affected individuals and businesses.
