Over one in four people are confident that their personal data has been leaked, a new study revealed.
Dublin is the most affected county at 35% of the people being affected by data breaches. One in every two people said they were targeted by spam calls or texts every month, a survey of 1,000 adults nationwide commissioned by the Compliance Institute found.
The research also found that people aged between 25 and 44 were most likely to confirm their data has been shared, with over three in ten people reporting a leak. More men than women reported they had fallen victim to data breaches (30% vs. 25%).
