The Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) monitors five groups for data breaches annually. It found that the financial, banking, and credit industries have remained the most proactive groups in data protection over the past three years. Businesses accounted for about 37 percent of the breaches, the highest number of any of the five groups studied. The government/military category has dropped nearly 50 percent since 2006, moving from the highest number of breaches to the third highest.
