According to the ITRC H1 2022 Data Breach Report analysis, 39 percent of all data breach notices issued in H1 did not list a victim count.
“The declines could be misleading since 40 percent of the data breach notices issued in the first half of the year did not include basic information like attack vector or victim count,” said Eva Velasquez, President and CEO of the Identity Theft Resource Center.

آج، شناختی چوری ریسورس سینٹر® (ITRC), a nationally recognized nonprofit organization established to support victims of identity crime, released its U.S. data breach findings for the first half (H1) of 2022. According to the H1 2022 Data Breach Report’s analysis, there were 817 publicly-reported data compromises in the U.S. in the first half of 2022, a four (4) percent decrease compared to the same period in 2021.
The number of victims impacted by data compromises continued to drop in H1 2022 (down 45 percent from H1 2021) as the nature of data compromises shifted to attacks targeting businesses, government agencies and institutions. However, an average of 39 percent of all data breach notices issued in H1 2022 did not list a victim count.
Approximately 87 percent of the data compromises in H1 2022 were due to a cyberattack. However, according to the H1 2022 Data Breach Report, ransomware attacks declined quarter-over-quarter for the first time since ransomware surpassed malware as the number two primary cause of data breaches in 2019. Phishing remained the number one root cause of data compromises in H1.

“We see the criminals continuing to shift their tactics resulting in the significant drop in the number of victims impacted,” said ایوا ویلاسکوز۔, President and CEO of the Identity Theft Resource Center. “We also see a decrease in the number of publicly-reported data breaches and the number of data breaches linked to ransomware attacks. However, the declines could be misleading since 40 percent of the data breach notices issued in the first half of the year did not include basic information like attack vector or victim count. Also, these trends could quickly be reversed simply by a few large breaches or a handful of smaller compromises.”
Other findings in the H1 2022 Data Breach Report analysis include:
- Nearly 40 percent of data breach notices issued in H1 2022 did not include the root cause of the compromise, making “unknown” the top cause of data breaches so far this year for the first time since the ITRC began tracking the cause of data compromises. Supply chain attacks, a subset of cyberattacks, continue to be a favored attack vector for cyberattackers.
- Security researchers believe that the decline in ransomware attacks is due to a combination of factors, including the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the collapse of cryptocurrencies favored by cybercriminals.
