According to official data, over the past year the number of personal data leaks has increased 4 times. The number of published personal data in 2023 exceeds the total population of the Russian Federation by 50 million. The study systematizes the statistics of information leaks in the context of impact factors and the composition of leaked user information in 2022-2023. In the course of analyzing statistical data from the largest vendors in Russia, the main characteristic features of personal data leaks in 2023 were identified and the vulnerabilities of domestic cyberspace were identified. The author identified the imperfections of legislative regulation of the processes of ensuring comprehensive protection of personal data and proposed directions for leveling the identified vulnerabilities.
