Únik dat (or „data breach“ in English) refers to the unauthorized access and retrieval of sensitive information by an individual, group, or software system. This incident typically involves the exposure of personal data, such as social security numbers, credit card information, passwords, or any private information that could be misused. Data breaches can occur through various means, including hacking, malware attacks, insider threats, or physical theft of devices containing sensitive information.
The consequences of a data breach can be severe, leading to identity theft, financial loss, legal ramifications, and damage to an organization’s reputation. Organizations often implement security measures, such as encryption, firewalls, and access controls, to protect against data breaches and must comply with legal requirements regarding data protection. In the event of a breach, timely notification to affected individuals and regulatory bodies is often mandated to mitigate risks associated with the compromised data.
