Data Breach
What Is Data Breach?
A data breach is an incident in which sensitive, confidential, or protected data is accessed, viewed, stolen, or used by an individual or organization without the knowledge or authorization of the data owner. Data breaches can occur in both physical and digital forms, and can have serious consequences for the affected individuals or organizations. Data breaches can involve the theft of financial information, personal information, trade secrets, or other confidential data. In some cases, data breaches can lead to identity theft, financial losses, or reputational damage.
Description
A data breach is an unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of sensitive, confidential, or protected data.
Usage and Examples
Data breaches can occur in a variety of ways, including hacking, phishing, malware, and physical theft. For example, a hacker may gain access to a company's network and steal customer data, or an employee may accidentally email sensitive information to an unauthorized recipient. Data breaches can also occur when a company fails to properly secure its data, such as when a laptop containing customer information is stolen or when a company's website is not properly secured. In all cases, data breaches can have serious consequences for the affected individuals or organizations.
