從影響5億客戶的萬豪國際酒店數據泄露到引人注目的Facebook數據泄露丑聞（一家政治咨詢公司獲得了訪問Facebook用戶信息的渠道），各大公司正日漸受到大規模黑客攻擊或儲存數據保管不當的侵害。

巴拿馬虛擬私營網絡服務提供商NordVPN的博客編輯丹尼爾·馬庫森在去年對11起最嚴重的數據泄露事件進行了盤點。沒有公司能夠避免數據泄露，隨著公司繼續搜集更多的用戶數據，這一點尤為令人擔憂。

他說：“這些攻擊的范圍證明，即便是那些超大型公司也存在漏洞，而且容易出錯。這意味著人們以后更難以信任那些大公司，因為我們不知道自己的數據哪一天便會落入不法分子手中。”

以下是去年最嚴重的泄露和漏洞事件，由NordVPN按照受影響人群數量排序：

1. 萬豪國際集團（5億用戶）

2. 推特（3.3億用戶）公司稱自己錯誤地將其用戶密碼以純文本的形式儲存在僅供雇員訪問的內部日志中，而且外部人士沒有訪問權限

3. My Fitness Pal（1.5億用戶）

4. Facebook（多次泄露，共計1.47億用戶）

5. Firebase（1億用戶）

6. Quora（1億用戶）

7. MyHeritage（9200萬用戶）

8. Uber（5700萬用戶）

9. Ticket Fly，Eventbrite子公司（2700萬用戶）

10. Google+（50萬用戶）

11. 英國航空（38萬用戶）

From the Marriott International hotel breach, which impacted half a billion customers, to the highly-profile scandal in which a political consulting gained access to Facebook users’ information, major corporations are increasingly victims of large hacks or bungling the data they store.

Daniel Markuson, blog editor at NordVPN, a virtual private network service provider based in Panama, released a review of 11 of the worst data breaches last year. No company is immune to data breaches, which is particularly concerning as corporations continue to collect more data from users.

“The scope of these attacks shows that even the biggest corporations are vulnerable and are prone to errors,” he said. “This means that it’s becoming more difficult to trust them as we never know when our data is going to end in the wrong hands.”

Here’s a look at last year’s biggest breaches and vulnerabilities ranked by the number of people impacted, as determined by NordVPN:

1.Marriott International (500 million users)

2.Twitter (330 million users) The company said it mistakenly stored user passwords in plain text on an internal log accessible only to employees, and that no outsiders accessed them

3.My Fitness Pal (150 million users)

4.Facebook (147 million users in multiple breaches)

5.Firebase (100 million users)

6.Quora (100 million users)

7.MyHeritage (92 million users)

8.Uber (57 million users)

9.Ticket Fly, owned by Eventbrite (27 million users)

10.Google+ (500,000 users)

11.British Airways (380,000 users)
