Bengaluru: India has entered third place, after the US and Iran, in the number of data violations detected globally in the first 11 months of this calendar year.
Indians face a total of 86.6 million data violations, according to a study by VPN Services Company Surfshark.
The affected account shows an increase of 356% from last year’s 19 million.
The top five countries with the number of largest data violations (US, Iran, India, Russia and France) explained more than half of all this year’s leakage.
In the first 11 months of this year, 953 million accounts were violated, meaning 1 of every 5 people were globally affected.
It was slightly higher than 922 million violations recorded during the same period the previous year with a growth of 3.4%, or 31 million, year-to-year.
Some of the biggest data violations this year include combs, clubhouses, Facebook and Raychat.
The report suggested that more than 150 million Iran accounts were compromised for 2021 raychat.io.
The violation encouraged Iran to second place because the Raychat application was one of the most popular message delivery platforms in the country.
