    Description

    The largest reported data leakage as of January 2025 was the Cam4 data breach in March 2020, which exposed more than 10 billion data records. The second-largest data breach in history so far, the Yahoo data breach, occurred in 2013. The company initially reported about one billion exposed data records, but after an investigation, the company updated the number, revealing that three billion accounts were affected. The National Public Data Breach was announced in August 2024. The incident became public when personally identifiable information of individuals became available for sale on the dark web. Overall, the security professionals estimate the leakage of nearly three billion personal records. The next significant data leakage was the March 2018 security breach of India's national ID database, Aadhaar, with over 1.1 billion records exposed. This included biometric information such as identification numbers and fingerprint scans, which could be used to open bank accounts and receive financial aid, among other government services.

    Cybercrime - the dark side of digitalization As the world continues its journey into the digital age, corporations and governments across the globe have been increasing their reliance on technology to collect, analyze and store personal data. This, in turn, has led to a rise in the number of cyber crimes, ranging from minor breaches to global-scale attacks impacting billions of users – such as in the case of Yahoo. Within the U.S. alone, 1802 cases of data compromise were reported in 2022. This was a marked increase from the 447 cases reported a decade prior. The high price of data protection As of 2022, the average cost of a single data breach across all industries worldwide stood at around 4.35 million U.S. dollars. This was found to be most costly in the healthcare sector, with each leak reported to have cost the affected party a hefty 10.1 million U.S. dollars. The financial segment followed closely behind. Here, each breach resulted in a loss of approximately 6 million U.S. dollars - 1.5 million more than the global average.

    Description

    Financial service providers who implemented blockchain solutions in their organization mostly used them for cryptocurrency - but NFTs also played a role. This is according to a survey held in 2021, but was not repeated since. "Asset tokenization", for example, refers to the digitization of real-world items - such as a house - into a digital token via an NFT. More importantly, the application of smart contracts - a feature that NFTs started to explore in 2021 - is considered a major application of blockchain technology, potentially speeding up the processing of documents, or identifying certain individuals. The source does not add much on Decentralized Finance or DeFi - which this ranking alludes to - although it does add that more than ***** out of 10 respondents (**** out of 10 among the Pioneers) said they believe DeFi will be "very or somewhat important". Central bank digital currency (CBDC) is the main blockchain application in finance in 2024 The 2021 survey lists "digital currency" as the most likely blockchain application in financial services. By 2024, such currencies are being developed by country's central banks. Cryptocurrencies and stablecoins are issued by private hands or companies, sometimes as a protest against monetary authorities. CBDC, on the other hand, comes from monetary authorities and is meant to be a digital variant of already existing FX. A 2023 survey reveals that the preservation of the central bank's role in money provision was a significant driver behind central bank digital currencies in developed countries. Emerging markets saw CBDC as a tool to make financial inclusion happen. A collection of different sources suggests that CBDC penetration in those countries that already have one available for consumer use in 2024, however, has been low. Concerns on fraud in the blockchain The second-most mentioned blockchain application in 2021 was "secure information exchange". This aspect of the blockchain still faced scrutiny as time went by. Cryptocurrency ranked the second-biggest fraud source among payments in the United States in 2022, based on the value of losses. Such numbers were based on fraud reports, however. For banks, blockchain security was historically not their main reason to not adopt the technology.

Description

The largest reported data leakage as of January 2025 was the Cam4 data breach in March 2020, which exposed more than 10 billion data records. The second-largest data breach in history so far, the Yahoo data breach, occurred in 2013. The company initially reported about one billion exposed data records, but after an investigation, the company updated the number, revealing that three billion accounts were affected. The National Public Data Breach was announced in August 2024. The incident became public when personally identifiable information of individuals became available for sale on the dark web. Overall, the security professionals estimate the leakage of nearly three billion personal records. The next significant data leakage was the March 2018 security breach of India's national ID database, Aadhaar, with over 1.1 billion records exposed. This included biometric information such as identification numbers and fingerprint scans, which could be used to open bank accounts and receive financial aid, among other government services.

Cybercrime - the dark side of digitalization As the world continues its journey into the digital age, corporations and governments across the globe have been increasing their reliance on technology to collect, analyze and store personal data. This, in turn, has led to a rise in the number of cyber crimes, ranging from minor breaches to global-scale attacks impacting billions of users – such as in the case of Yahoo. Within the U.S. alone, 1802 cases of data compromise were reported in 2022. This was a marked increase from the 447 cases reported a decade prior. The high price of data protection As of 2022, the average cost of a single data breach across all industries worldwide stood at around 4.35 million U.S. dollars. This was found to be most costly in the healthcare sector, with each leak reported to have cost the affected party a hefty 10.1 million U.S. dollars. The financial segment followed closely behind. Here, each breach resulted in a loss of approximately 6 million U.S. dollars - 1.5 million more than the global average.
