A total of 888 data breaches occurred during the first half of this year, Gemalto says. The largest breach was the Anthem Insurance breach, which exposed 79 million records. United States reported the lion’s share of breaches, 671 breaches, or 76 percent of the total. The healthcare sector accounted for 34 percent of records lost, followed by government with 31 percent. European Union members are likely to start reporting more breaches next year when the European Commission adopts new data protection regulations.”]
