Over two-thirds of UK MPs have had their data leaked to the dark web.
This alarming data comes from a joint investigation between leading digital risk firm Constella Intelligence and privacy provider Proton.
Politicians' parliamentary emails were the biggest data involved in breaches, exposed 2,110 times on the dark web.
While breached MPs faced exposure 4.7 times on average, the most frequently targeted suffered up to 30 breaches.
Social media profiles were also affected.
This is especially dangerous as social media platforms contain a treasure of personal information.
Such staggering numbers aren’t so surprising, though.
Both organizations and individuals have been increasingly the target of cyberattacks and data breaches.
There are reports of new data breaches almost daily now, with the latest involving25,000 BBC employees.
The aims might be different, but the means to be involved in a hack don’t change.
