Another month passes where I’m left thinking ‘I should really create a Healthcare category’. So, from next month – I’ll be doing exactly that.
There were some incredibly sensitive breaches this month, the majority of which were caused by human error. I imagine human error will continue to be the main cause of data breaches for decades to come – damn humans.
I count this month’s list of known leaked records to be 139,731,894. As always, if I have missed any out – please let me know in the comments section below.
