More than 5,000 breaches occurred in that time period, costing billions of dollars and exposing 22.5 million personal records of New Yorkers. The report titled “Information Exposed: Historical Examination of Data Security in New York State,” found that approximately 40% of the breaches were the result of hacking incidents.
