I have seen several happen over the years that are a bit concerning. Another recent one with Apple's iCloud and then 5 or 6 years ago with that massive breach of MyFitnessPal data. Makes me a bit concerned when downloading apps these days and using any sort of cloud storage. What are some companies that seem to be more prone to data breaches? let's discuss!

I don't know of the number of breaches but I know Equifax had a massive one in 2017. Uber had a data breach a year or so prior to this. Cash App is another that happened in recent years either last year or the year prior. 

I don't think this is something you should fault a company over entirely unless it happens several times.

Apple is at the top I would say as they have had data breaches every few years it seems from Apple Health Medicaid to the iCloud being compromised. I am not sure how it keeps happening. I do not use Apple devices or software.

@sonzy I think so as well. You would not think it, like I honestly thought Windows would be up there especially because they have a console as well but nope! Apple has had more data breaches than any other major company I can think of.
