And with big names such as Zappos, Amazon, LinkedIn and Android gracing the list, there's a good chance you or someone you know has fallen victim to a security breach.

"With threats looming everywhere from banks and web browsers to online dating and social networking sites, this list is sure to leave you with goosebumps," the company says.
