From the report cited:<p>&gt; Compared to midyear of 2018, the number of reported breaches was up 54% and the number of exposed records was up 52%<p>&gt; Web remains the number one breach type for number of records exposed, accounting for 79% of compromised records, while Hacking remains the number one breach type for number of incidents, accounting for 82% of reported breaches<p>Also, almost every breach was of a system with between 10 and 1000 records, so mostly small systems.
