#gemalto revealed that in the first six months of this year a total of 888 data #breaches occurred, compromising 246 million records worldwide.
Compared to the first half of 2014, data breaches increased by 10% while the number of compromised data records declined by 41% during the first six months of this year. This decline in compromised records can most likely be attributed to that fact that fewer large-#scale mega breaches have occurred in the retail industry compared to the same period last year.
