When sensitive information is exposed, it can cause major problems for businesses, governments, and individuals alike. Hackers can access you whether you are offline or online by using the internet, Bluetooth, text messages, or the online services you use.
The assumption is that a data breach is the result of an external hacker, but this is not always the case.
In some cases, the causes of data breaches can be traced back to deliberate attacks. It could, however, be the result of a simple oversight by individuals or flaws in a company’s infrastructure.
