In April, a major data breach occurred involving National Public Data, a background check and criminal records service owned by Jerico Pictures Inc. The breach exposed the personal information of nearly 3 billion people, including full names, addresses, and Social Security numbers, making it one of the largest data breaches in history. The cybercriminal group USDoD is reportedly responsible for the attack. The stolen data has been leaked online, raising significant concerns about privacy and data security. This breach surpasses previous records, such as the 2013 Yahoo! hack, highlighting the urgent need for improved cybersecurity measures.
