Russians lead the world with the most data breaches in Q1’22 at 3.5M breaches

June 2022 by CryptoMonday

According to a CryptoMonday analysis, Russia reported the most data breaches in Q1 2022. The country reported 3.5 million such incidences representing an 11% surge in their Q4 2021 occurrences. That increase saw it leapfrog the U.S. as the most affected country globally.

CryptoMonday’s CEO, Jonathan Merry, has been sharing his thoughts on the revelation. He holds, “You can’t divorce Russia’s data breaching woes from its incursion into Ukraine. That action has earned it many enemies within the hacker community. These are targeting Russian "assets" in solidarity with the Ukrainian people. A perfect example would be the Anonymous hacker group who’ve announced a hacking campaign against the nation."

CryptoMonday’s analysis shows that the Russian data violations peaked in March. The country recorded a 136% spike in those breaches from February’s occurrences. That was a fivefold jump from January’s figures, underlining the need for vigilance in our online activities.

Which nations reported the highest number of data breaches?

Though alarming, a surge in the Russian numbers pales in comparison to events elsewhere. Hong Kong, for instance, recorded a 946% jump in those episodes. That upswing saw the country’s load of data leaks hit the 311,000 mark in Q1 2022.

Poland is another nation that recorded a proliferation of data intrusion cases. The country’s Q1 2022 tally of those events rose by 514% from Q4 2021 to stand at 916,000.

South Korea registered the biggest drop in data breaches

It hasn’t been all gloom and doom for the global IT fraternity. Many other nations registered declines in their cases of compromised data. South Korea leads the way here, having reduced its Q4 2021 occurrences by 92%!
Similarly, Brazil cut down its last quarter’s numbers by 80%. Other nations that made big progress in containing data breaches were Spain (70%), Ukraine (67%), Canada (63%), and India (62%). The U.S that has been leading in these attacks, reduced them by 47%.
