On average, it takes corporations 277 days to report these breaches, giving cybercriminals an extended window to exploit sensitive data. This highlights the dire need for proactive measures to safeguard personal information. Utilizing digital safety solutions, such as those that monitor the dark web for compromised data, can help mitigate these risks.
