Today, 4iQ released our annual Identity Breach Report, Weaponized Data Breaches: Fueling Identity-Based Attacks Across the Globe. The report details all of the identity-based data we gathered, validated and analyzed from breaches and leaks throughout 2019 and explores how the severity of targeted public/private sector data exfiltration is reflected in the underground breach economy. Findings from our latest breach report show the number of new identity records and depth of personal information is expanding, creating a blueprint of our digital identities for threat actors to weaponize across the globe.

During peak business periods, such as Cyber Monday, we see an uptick of online fraud. Since many consumers re-use passwords, credentials associated with prior cyber-attacks are being used by criminals to access accounts on otherwise secure shopping, banking and credit card sites. 4iQ is happy to announce that we will be providing a free cyber monitoring service and trial for eCommerce and financial services companies. The holidays are a great time for families, however, it can also be an advantage for cybercriminals. Is your company’s data secure? https://4iq.com/free-service-and-trial-for-the-holiday-sea/

Data breaches extend far beyond just the companies itself but rather the individuals who are impacted. In a bid to sensationalize the news, the media drives the focus away from who really are the victims. #privacy #databreach

No matter the circumstances surrounding data #exposure, a company should always be prepared for legal ramifications, and the price tag that goes along with them. Learn more about these #fees in our latest blog: https://4iq.com/cost-non-compliance-fines-add/

Consumer data is protected by both state and federal laws, and violating either by exposing personal information could result in hefty fines. When a data breach occurs, the initial incident is just the tip of the iceberg. Companies are responsible for the consequences of the exposure even years later thanks to numerous state and federal laws that protect consumer data.
