Zero-day, supply-chain attacks drove data breach high for 2023

Posted on January 26, 2024 by Dissent

CSO reports:

Zero-day exploits, supply chain attacks fuel 72% increase over previous record for incidents of compromise. Another increase is expected for 2024.

A new record for data breaches reported to the Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) was set in 2023, spurred by zero-day and supply chain attacks, according to the organization’s annual data breach report released Thursday. The report noted that the number of data compromises in 2023 jumped 78% over 2022, to 3,205 from 1,801 and exceeded, by 72%, the previous high of 1,860 breaches recorded in 2021.

Some of that increase was fueled by old adversaries. “Some of the organized criminal groups that had been on the sidelines during the early part of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine have gotten back into the identity crime business,” says ITRC COO James E. Lee.

“We also saw an increase in a big way of supply-chain attacks, where you had organized groups attacking vendors to get information on multiple companies,” he adds.
