United States Reported Less Data Breaches in 2020 but with much more Expensive Successful Hacker Attacks
According to the annual report of the Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC), 1,108 cyber incidents were reported in 2020 and the number casualties from these incidents was close to 301 million people, a drop of 66% over the previous year.
The social engineering technique of impersonation also helped attackers reap massive profits:
The volume of business fraud and hacking by corporate e-mail systems (BECs) reported to the FBI in 2020 was US$ 1.8 Billion – a figure that reflects half of all cyber damage in monetary terms.
“The trend away from mass data breaches and toward more precise and sophisticated cyberattacks doesn’t mean businesses can relax. Just the opposite. They need to learn whole new ways of protecting their data.”
– James E. Lee, ITRC COO

For €1,500, AUMINT’s Attack Surface Report uncovers what’s really out there – and what you need to fix first.
Don’t wait for a pentest report after the damage is done.

Deepfaked at Home: Why Your Executives Are Now the Weakest Link
🧠 Deepfakes Are Now Targeting Execs at Home
🎯 41% of executives were targeted with deepfakes in 2025
📲 Fake video calls from “CEOs” and “spouses” are tricking teams
🏠 Home networks and smart devices are now enterprise entry points
🔓 Many execs reuse personal passwords at work – attackers know it
❌ Half of companies still don’t train leaders to detect synthetic threats
If your security ends at the office door – your real risks are just beginning.
Cybercriminals are bypassing corporate firewalls and heading straight for the homes of key personnel. And it’s working. They’re blending breached personal data with AI-powered deepfakes to impersonate, manipulate, and break in.
Your organization’s weakest link might be the CEO’s unprotected home router.
It’s time to protect leadership the same way we protect infrastructure.
At AUMINT.io, we help companies extend their perimeter into executive households with tailored simulations, awareness training, and digital hygiene hardening.
Don’t wait for a fake CFO call to cost your real company millions.
