Hezbollah data breach leads the list of the biggest cybersecurity events of the year

Posted on October 4, 2024 by Dissent

Dr. Tim Sandle reports:

Hezbollah data breach in Lebanon is the latest major data breach recorded, causing thousands of injuries and nine fatalities.

New research has identified the most recent and biggest data breaches involving government or public entities, analysing the year of the breach, the number of people affected, the number of articles written, and how the breach occurred.

The analysis reveals France Travail Data Leak had the highest confirmed number of victims in 2024 and received the most media attention. In more general terms, hacking is the most common method of these breaches, affecting groups like the U.S. Presidential campaigns, France Travail, and India’s Medical Research Council.

The company Psono conducted research. The analysis focused on several metrics, including the year of the breach, the number of people affected, the number of articles written, and how the breach occurred. The final ranking was primarily based on the recency of the incident and the number of individuals impacted, providing an up-to-date overview of the biggest government data breaches in recent history.
