Data compromises broke another record in 2021, and more businesses were targeted by cybercriminals armed with stolen personal information and passwords, according to the Identity Theft Resource Center’s 2021 annual report.

Publicly reported data compromises in the U.S., including breaches, exposures and leaks, totaled 1,862 in 2021, a 68% increase over 2020. Nearly 294 million people were victims.

Cyberthieves increasingly attacked businesses using stolen individual credentials, such as logins and passwords, or by tricking people into revealing information needed for those attacks, the report found.
