Details leaked in a data breach

As consumers, our personal data is a valuable commodity, both to businesses and to criminals. Companies can obtain our personal information via legitimate methods, whereas cybercriminals are constantly looking for opportunities to steal information. One key means of sourcing personal data is to take advantage of details leaked in a data breach.

Whether through a targeted cyberattack or internal cybersecurity errors, the personal data held by companies can be leaked to unauthorised third parties. Given the value of private information, cybercriminals can deliberately seek to profit from vulnerabilities in companies’ systems, proceeding to then use the stolen information for their own gain.

Due to the threat of cybercrime, and their legal obligations, data controllers have a responsibility to protect the information they hold about consumers and employees. If they fail to have enough security measures in place, if information is compromised as a result, they could be liable for a breach of data protection law.
