New study reveals the most expensive academic data breaches

Posted on February 23, 2022 by Dissent

Serena Haththotuwa reports:

A new study has calculated the most expensive data breaches over the past two years. The research, which was conducted by Surfshark, shows the cost of data hacks for businesses across 11 sectors including the academic, tech, government, retail and finance industries.

Surfshark’s list of most expensive data breaches is based on information from the IT Governance Blog and IBM’s ‘Cost of a Data Breach’ report.
