    • Abstract:
      The article discusses a report issued by the Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) in the U.S. that hackers have become the top cause of publicly reported data breaches in April 2010. It says that the ITRC started tracking the cause of breaches several years ago, with data on the move as the previous top cause for the breaches. According to the author, the top cause changed in 2009 when a hacker is found behind at least one of every five breaches. The ITRC adds that its report is based only on reported breaches.
