A survey conducted in May 2024 found that 56 percent of the respondents in the United States were not likely at all to trust a company that had experienced data breaching with their personal data. The same trend was reflected among different age groups, as the majority of them were not likely to trust companies post-data breach. A significant share of 76 percent of adults between the age of 45 and 54 were not likely to share their personal information with a company after a data breach. While approximately half of users aged between 25 and 44 were not at all likely to trust such companies in the future.
