Ghana ranks 9th among top 10 African countries with most data breaches in 2024

Ghana ranks ninth (9th) among the top 10 African countries with the most data breaches in 2024 according to data from the Netherland-based virtual private network (VPN) firm Surf Shark.

Globally, Ghana ranks 92nd.

According to Surf Shark, Ghana has had over 4 million data breaches this year which implies that Ghana records 12 data breaches per every 100 Ghanaians.

Data breaches are a global problem, but the consequences can be especially severe in African countries.

As the continent quickly digitizes, the dangers of data breaches grow, posing serious concerns to economic stability, national security, and personal privacy. The issue of data breach can also be an expensive problem to solve, and could spiral out of control.

The financial consequences of data breaches in African nations are among the most pressing threats. Businesses in a variety of industries, including financial institutions and e-commerce sites, are depending more and more on digital platforms to carry out transactions and keep private data.

These corporations may suffer enormous financial losses as a result of a data breach, which may also undermine customer confidence and harm the reputation of the compromised companies.

Much like everywhere else, data breaches are also a huge danger to national security in African countries. Government databases frequently include sensitive information about residents, military activities, and national infrastructure. Unauthorized access to such data has serious consequences, including espionage, sabotage, and other types of cyber warfare.

The right to privacy is a basic human right, yet data breaches may significantly weaken it. Personal information, such as names, addresses, identification numbers, and medical data, can be compromised during a breach, resulting in identity theft, financial fraud, and other types of exploitation.

In African countries, where legal frameworks for data protection are still developing, individuals may have limited recourse to seek redress and protection.
