Hello, and thank you for joining us for our October 2022 recap of cyber assaults and data breaches. Throughout the month, we discovered 102 security events, which is the second highest number this year, behind only August’s 153. (112)

By comparison, just a small amount of personally identifiable information was exposed, with our numbers proving that at most 9,990,855 records were compromised. Due to Amazon’s unencrypted database including Prime members’ viewing habits, that figure might have been far higher.

Researchers at Tech Crunch discovered that the 215 million hacked information could not be used to identify consumers by name, which is good news for the tech giant.

We have not included this number in our calculation since we do not know how much harm would result from the exposure of the data at this time. However, it’s a warning sign for all firms about the hazards of misconfigured Internet-facing servers.

The complete list of data breaches and cyber assaults has been provided below,
