Instead, it was a supply chain attack that exploited a third-party integration.

Biggest Data Breaches In History, And What We Have Learned From Them

Basically, hackers do not hack. They infiltrate systems. They explore vulnerabilities. They examine data flows, searching for weaknesses to exploit. And then they log in. Almost, we could romanticize them. A hopeless romantic who is reading Dostoievski for lunch would surely do that. But regardless, that is light-years away from the objective of our article. To begin, we would like to highlight the alarming prevalence of data breaches, which persist despite the relentless advancements in technology, advancements that one might assume would mitigate such threats. In 2024 alone, over 5.5 billion records were compromised globally.
