Hacktivist groups like Anonymous and LulzSec weren’t responsible for the most data breaches in 2011. They did, however, steal the most records from users last year, according to a new report.
2011 was the year of the hacktivist. 100 million users saw their data compromised by hacktivist groups such as Anonymous and LulzSec. Out of an estimated 855 data-breach incidents recorded last year, only around 25 were attributed to hacktivists.
While their activities accounted for just 2 percent of external breaches, they stole 58 percent of all the 174 million records stolen last year.
