Take table below with a grain of salt. It is AI generated:
Country Breaches (millions) Population (millions) Breaches per 1,000 people South Sudan 0.73 11 66.4 U.S. 16.9 335 50.4 Spain 2.4 48 50.0 Germany 3.9 84 46.4 Canada 0.89 39 22.8 UK 2.2 67 32.8 France 2.1 65 32.3 Russia 4.4 144 30.6 Argentina 0.79 46 17.2 India 4.2 1,435 2.9 American here, I knew we weren’t the worst!
Title makes it sound really bad but we are #8 while USA and Russia take the #1 and #2 slots…
