DATA BREACH2
Introduction
As the technology is turning out more dominant in the way, in which the storage of
the information or data is changing. Instead of storing the data into the cabinets, the
information or data is being stored in the database. This raises the hackers and the security
breaches correspondingly, where the hackers can access to the sensitive and confidential data
or information (Jones et al. 2014). A data breach is the incident, which causes the
unauthorized access of the data, devices, networks, services and application by bypassing the
underlying security techniques (Romanosky Hoffman and Acquisti 2014). A data breach is
the early stage of the security attack by any malicious intruder. Data breach happens if the
system, producers or the security policies are violated. This study aims to highlight on some
of the high profile data breaches in Australia, in which the Australian National University,
Canva and Whatsapp were the victims of the data breach. This study discusses about the
impact, mitigation and the factors that has lead the organization to the breach and the
legislative efforts by the scheme of Australia’s Notifiable Data Breach that helped in this
case of data breach.
