The number of whistleblower reports made to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) about potential data breaches and the misuse of customer information by organizations has risen by 34% in the last year.

That’s according to RPC, a London-headquartered professional services firm offering legal and consultancy advice to a range of sectors. Of the record-high 427 whistleblower reports made in the last year, RPC stated that further action was taken with 68, including 23 being taken into consideration for investigations.

According to RPC, greater awareness of online fraud and other forms of data theft has caused more people to report businesses for not taking proper precautions with the data they hold.
