Data Breaches Are Up 38 Percent in Q2 2021; The Identity Theft Resource Center Predicts a New All-Time High by Year’s End


Data breaches are up, and the increase in data breaches could end with a record-setting number of compromises in 2021.

Data breaches are up, and the increase in data breaches could end with a record-setting number of compromises in 2021.

“Criminals continue to exploit organizations of all sizes through single points-of-attack, making good cyber-hygiene practices more important than ever,” said Eva Velasquez, president and CEO of the Identity Theft Resource Center.

Today, the Identity Theft Resource Center® (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 2021. According to the data breach analysis, publicly-reported U.S. data breaches are up 38 percent in the second quarter (Q2) of 2021 (491 compromises) compared to the first quarter (Q1). However, the number of individuals impacted (52.8 million) is down 20 percent over that same timespan.

For H1 2021, the number of compromises (846) makes up 76 percent of 2020’s total compromises. If the current attack pace continues, the increase in data breaches in 2021 will end with a record-setting number of compromises, exceeding the current highwater mark of 1,632 set in 2017.

However, the number of victims (118.6 million) only makes up 38 percent of 2020’s total number of people impacted by data breaches, data exposures and data leaks. If the trend continues, 2021 could result in the lowest number of people impacted by data compromises since 2014.

Phishing and ransomware attacks remain the top two root causes for data compromises, and supply chain attacks continue to increase (32 new attacks in Q2 compared to 27 in Q1 2021). The surge in phishing, ransomware and supply chain attacks is driving the pace of data compromises and the main reason 2021 could see a new record for total data breaches, data exposures and data leaks.

Download the ITRC’s 2021 First Half Data Breach Analysis and Key Takeaways

“We are seeing a shift with the increase in data breaches in 2021 compared to 2020, primarily because of the growing number of phishing attacks, ransomware attacks and supply chain attacks,” said Eva Velasquez, president and CEO of the Identity Theft Resource Center. “While it is discouraging to see the number of compromises up, it is encouraging that we could see the fewest number of people impacted in seven years. Criminals continue to exploit organizations of all sizes through single points-of-attack, making good cyber-hygiene practices more important than ever.”

Other findings in the analysis include:


  • Data compromises are rising in half of the sectors tracked by the ITRC. Manufacturing & Utilities and Professional Services are seeing significant increases, while Healthcare and Retail are seeing data compromises drop. This dynamic reflects the broader trend of cybercriminals shifting their attacks to critical infrastructure entities that are too important to remain idle, and targets with less robust cybersecurity protections in hopes of securing larger ransomware payments.
  • The 58 supply chain attacks through June 30, 2021, a 19 percent increase in Q2, compares to 70 malware-related compromises, which indicates that third-party risks are poised to surpass malware as the third most common root cause of data events by the end of the year.
  • The July 2, 2021 supply chain attack on Kaseya, a security software provider, also indicates that the scope and complexity of supplier attacks are increasing.

Providing the Slate integration with our marketing automation and predictive model platform enables our shared clients to identify more prospective students, generate higher conversion rates, and access the data they need to enroll their next class of students. – Leonard Napolitano, Capture CEO

Colleges and universities using Slate can see the engagement level of their prospective students with their website and other outreach channels directly in their CRM — extending their team and resources — thanks to a recent integration between Capture Higher Ed and Slate.

Capture’s platform and solutions have increased institutional application volume by 20 percent — providing inquiries from the right students that lead to higher yield. 

Besides seamless, near real-time reception of Capture inquiries and engagement scores into Slate, the new integration with the CRM: 


  • Replaces manual file processing; 
  • Increases efficiency; 
  • Reduces the risk of human error and data corruption;
