In the first six months of 2018, a total of 4,553,172,708 records were compromised, an increase of 133 percent over the first-half of 2017, a report from Gemalto has found.

In its latest Breach Level Index, Gemalto said accidental loss was the leading factor behind several breaches where data records were disclosed, noting this was due to organisations not taking proper action to secure their cloud-based assets.

Of the total 945 breach incidents, 256 were in healthcare, 134 financial services, 86 in education, 68 in professional services, and 61 in government, with the remainder spread across industries such as retail, technology, industrial, and hospitality.

According to Gemalto, malicious outsiders were the biggest threat in the first half of 2018.
