The Fraudian Slip Podcast - 2024 Annual Data Breach Report: Takeaways & Key Findings

Welcome back to the Identity Theft Resource Center’s (ITRC) Weekly Breach Breakdown, supported by Sentilink. I’m James E. Lee, the ITRC’s President, and this is the episode for July 18, 2025. Each week, we take a look at the latest news and trends related to data security and privacy. This week, the ITRC released our H1 2025 Data Breach Analysis that looks at what happened in the first six months of 2025 when it comes to U.S. data compromises. Let’s talk about the trends, but first, some housekeeping with some numbers: 

A total of 1,732 data compromises were reported in the first half of 2025, resulting in a little more than 165.7 million breach notices. That’s about five percent ahead of where we were at this time last year in terms of compromises. It’s also more reported compromises than at the halfway point in 2023, when we set the current high-water mark for data compromises.

The Weekly Breach Breakdown: ITRC H1 2025 Data Breach Analysis – Key Findings & Takeaways – S6E22

Welcome to the Identity Theft Resource Center's (ITRC’s) Weekly Breach Breakdown for October 10, 2025. I'm Alex Achten, Senior Director of Communications & Media Relations for the ITRC. Thanks to Sentilink for supporting the ITRC and this podcast. Each week, we look at the most recent events and trends related to data security and privacy. Today, we will examine our Q3 2025 data breach findings.

The last time we inspected the latest data breach trends was in our H1 2025 Data Breach Report. At that time, we were on pace to track a record number of compromises in 2025. Cyberattacks were the primary cause of data breaches where personal information was stolen. Sixty-nine (69) percent of data breach notices did not include information about the root cause of the attack. What changed in the third quarter of the year? The short answer? Not much. Let’s dive into the Q3 2025 data breach numbers.
