   It's no longer a case of if but when a data breach will occur — and   
   consumers are catching on. In the age of digital services, this is a   
   critical development because it means the average US consumer is now   
   demanding the power to make more informed decisions about the way   
   their data is used, stored, and processed. And for US legislative   
   bodies, it means data protection could soon be a major topic on the   
   ballot.   
      
   According to the latest Thales Consumer Digital Trust Index, almost   
   half (48%) of US consumers report being victims of a data breach —   
   higher than their global counterparts, at 33%. The sheer volume of   
   cyberattacks in the US has brought data security to the mainstream   
   eye, and consumers are tuning into the legal fallout from breaches   
   affecting millions, including T-Mobile's 2021 cyberattack and Drizly's   
   2020 hack. Now, they are starting to make more informed decisions   
   about how they want their data handled going forward.
