Data breaches and cyber attacks in July 2019 – 2.3 billion records leaked

Remember after last month’s relatively serene cyber security scene we said this wasn’t the beginning of the GDPRevolution?

July was bound to be a bounce-back month, but we couldn’t have expected the frighteningly high total of 2,359,114,047 breached records.

Cyber attacks


Ransomware


Data breaches
