What is a data breach?

An occurrence where personal, private, secret, or confidential information about an individual is disclosed without the user's consent or is stolen is known as a data breach.

Malware or hacking attacks are the main causes of data breaches. The following are other breach techniques that are commonly seen:

Insider leak: Data theft by a dependable person or an authority figure with access rights.

Payment card fraud: Physical skimming devices are used to steal payment card information.

Theft or loss of physical property includes files, laptops, office computers, portable drives, and other items.
