Interview on SABC's Network Show: Marco discusses what legal
recourse consumers have in the case where their data privacy has
been compromised.
What is a data breach, and in these instances what do we mean
by data?
Simply put, a data breach is when sensitive or confidential
information is accessed by an individual who is unauthorised to do
so.
The reference to data entails anything which has sensitive or
private information – this can include financial information
such as credit card or bank account details, personally
identifiable information such as names, identity numbers,
health status, email addresses and passwords and for corporates,
would also include trade secrets and intellectual
property.
