A survey conducted between January 2023 and May 2024 found that there was an increase in the share of United States adults whose personally identifiable information (PII) was exposed through hacking. In 2023, 29 percent of U.S. adults reported personal information exposure through a hack, but the share increased to 33 percent in 2024. Conversely, 42 percent of respondents believed that their PII was not compromised through a hack in 2024. The share of respondents who were not sure if they had been victims of PII exposure increased marginally from 24 to 25 percent in the examined period. U.S. adults limited certain online activities in order to avoid cybersecurity risks.
