There’s been a high rise in global data breaches for several years, and 2022 has been littered with information thefts.

As per Analytics India magazine, the data breach cost averaged Rs.176 million in 2022, reaching an all-time high.

In July, Twitter suffered a data breach of 5.4 million accounts, and throughout the year so far, there have been several cases of data theft of various scales.
