A report by Picnic reveals that the digital privacy of U.S. C-level executives is severely compromised, with nearly all having faced data breaches. The average executive reportedly suffers from 43 data breaches, while 94% have seen their unencrypted passwords exposed. Notably, 84% of these issues arise from breaches of personal accounts, putting executives' private information at risk. Particularly vulnerable positions include CTOs, CROs, GCs, and CMOs. Industries facing the most challenges include healthcare and computer software, highlighting an urgent need for enhanced security measures in corporate governance.
Healthcare CEOs have the most personal data exposure, and other healthcare C-level roles lead all industries with exposed personal phone numbers.
The potential impact of these breaches isn't limited to the circulation of usernames and passwords - the research also found exposed digital footprints that can lead directly to executives' front doors.
