U.S. breaches are on a record pace, again, following a record-breaking 2016, according to a report from the San Diego-based Identity Theft Resource Center and Providence, R.I.-based CyberScout (formerly IDT911).

The number of U.S. data breaches tracked through June 30, 2017 hit a half-year high of 791. This represents a significant jump of 29% over 2016 figures during the same period. At this pace, ITRC anticipates the number of breaches could reach 1,500 in 2017, a 37% annual increase over 2016, when breaches reached a record high of 1,093 incidents. The breaches so far exposed 12,389,462 reported records.
