“The number of data security breaches reported annually to the NYAG more than tripled between 2006 and 2013 – and 2013 was a record-setting year, during which 7.3 million records of New Yorkers were exposed. So-called mega-breaches are also becoming increasingly common…
Hacking intrusions – in which third parties gain unauthorized access to data stored on a computer system – were the leading cause of data security breaches among organizations conducting business in New York State, accounting for roughly 40 percent of all breaches between 2006 and 2013.
Hacking attacks are driven primarily by the black-market value of personal information, which can fetch up to $45 per record.Reports of insider wrongdoing and inadvertent exposure have increased over the past eight years, with incidents of insider wrongdoing reaching their highest level in 2013.”
