Colonial Pipeline was forced to halt the pipeline's operations to contain the attack on computerized equipment managing the pipeline. In May, an attack on Colonial Pipeline, an American oil pipeline system between Texas and South-Eastern USA, led to more than 100GB of stolen data and disrupted a critical petroleum supply chain.

The stolen data included the Facebook I.D.s, full names, phone numbers, dates of birth, locations, and email addresses of users from different countries.
In April 2021, a user on a hacking forum published the personal data of more than 533 million Facebook users. The installation of backdoors allowed the attackers to gain entry even after updates to original exploits were made to the vulnerable servers. The attackers also got administrator privileges on more than 250,000 servers. The exploits provided attackers with full access to emails and passwords on the affected servers. In March, four zero-day exploits were discovered on on-premises Microsoft Exchange Servers. A dark web hacker forum exposed more than 1.9 million user records, including usernames, email addresses, passwords, and locations. Pixl, the online photo editor, suffered a significant data leak believed to be perpetrated by a notorious hacker, ShinyHunters. The hacking group, ShinyHunters, leaked a 70 GB SQL file containing various categories of data that may interest threat actors. In January, Bonobos, the men's clothing store, suffered a massive data breach that exposed the personal information of more than 7 million customers, including about 3.5 million partial credit cards. For comparison, a record 2.2 billion people were affected by data breaches in 2018. The total number of victims is still 30 million fewer thus far despite the increased number of incidents. There were 160 million victims in the third quarter compared to 121 million victims for the first and second quarters. In 2021, approximately 281.5 million people have been affected by a data breach.

In the U.S., businesses suffered more than 1,108 data breaches in 2020, and that number has been surpassed in 2021, with 1,292 data breaches recorded by the end of September. Remote work has presented a bear for every business to wrestle in business security. The last quarter of the year may yet see the total number of data breaches hit record numbers.Ī significant factor driving the increase in data breaches is moving to remote work or a hybrid model following COVID-19. The number of violations in the third quarter (446) was lower than the reported total in the second quarter (491). In 2021, significant data leaks and cybersecurity breaches have been reported, but it's not all doom. The Identity Theft Research Center (ITRC) has reported a 17% increase in the total number of data breaches recorded in 2020. At the same time, businesses have struggled with gathering, using, and managing data. The COVID-19 pandemic forced companies to react and pivot quickly to stay afloat.
