Regional comparison of data breaches

People from Europe are 3 times more likely to suffer account data leaks than the global population

Breaches in Europe account for 29.3% of the total global breaches. To put this into perspective, a single person from Europe has gotten their online account details leaked around 9 times since 2004. However, not all countries are exposed to cyber risks on the same level. Russia is the most targeted country, with 5 out of 10 breaches in Europe happening there.
