How Does a Data Breach Happen?
- Phishing is a type of cyberattack where an email, phone call, or text message lures an individual into offering up sensitive personal data.
- Malware or ransomware is used to trick individuals into clicking links or opening toxic attachments on their computers. These kind of cyberattacks take data hostage, and the victims are extorted into paying to fix the security issue.
- Data theft can be a wide range of data leaks, such as a lack of encryption, poor passwords, and careless security practices.
