The year ended with two massive consumer data breaches. South Korean e-commerce giant Coupang reported that a former employee had leaked the personal information of 34 million customers. Meanwhile, SoundCloud confirmed a breach affecting 28 million accounts, attributed to the ShinyHunters group. These final incidents of 2025 underscored that both external threat actors and malicious insiders remain constant threats. As corporations move into 2026, the focus has shifted entirely toward comprehensive data resilience and identity-first security.
