Unless you are well over 80 years old, that is patently not true. Computer data breaches started happening in the intelligence sector in the late '50s to early '60s. They weren’t reported on. Corporate data breaches started happening in the mid '70s to early '80s. Again not widely reported on because that was mostly corporate espionage. The first major data breach that was reported on that I remember was the attack on the Dow Jones that happened in 1988 or 1989.
Data breaches have included everything from floppy disks to tape drives. Not just emails and USB jump drives.
For most of my lifetime, date breaches had to be carried out on-site and by hand.
Explain how that means only “emails and USB jump drives”. That might be hard, because it doesn’t.
As well, you might be thinking of the Black Monday stock market crash, because I don’t remember any high-profile hack to exfiltrate data from the Dow Jones. Amongst the only early remote data breaches I am aware of is the German guys who got into the DoD’s network and sold the data to the KGB, in the mid-80s, because it was only the military and some universities who had the internet back then.
Remote data breaches have only really been a thing since the 2000s, because like I said, computers were less common and the internet was almost non-existent before that point. The spread of both computers and the internet made it a lot easier. If you’re having trouble with the maths, that means I don’t in fact have to be “well over 80 years old”.
Remote. That is the key word you left out. That word makes what you said make a lot more sense. There were a ton of data breaches that weren’t remote before Arpanet.

Explain just what the hell you think “on-site and by hand” means, please.
