The U.S. clocked 3,322 data compromises in 2025, a 79% uptick over the previous five years that set a new record. Yet the number of victims dropped to 278.8 million from 1.36 billion the year before. That's not good news, according to the Identity Theft Resource Center, attackers are simply being more effective, and companies are leaving victims "totally in the dark" about what went wrong.

405 cybersecurity & privacy experts from 30 countries worldwide recently warned that mandating age verification "breaks the internet's security model" by creating centralized databases of sensitive identity information. Meanwhile, @IDTheftCenter found that the number of data compromises jumped 79% over the last 5 years. Digital ID verification mandates only increase these risks.
