PEER-TO-PEER COMMUNICATION ASSIGNMENT1
A data infringement is a safety incident in which private and sensitive information is not
permitted to be released. The most common scenario is if the cybercriminals penetrate a database
and steal sensitive data, either simply by copying or distributing or using it. Data infringements
may reveal personal, political, credit, personal and corporate confidentiality numbers, software
codes, customers, and even copyrights (Lynch, 2016).
Data infringements can occur on a variety of grounds; targeted attacks can lead to identity
theft, cash robbery, or even happen by accident. Sadly, many cybercriminals are involved in data
infringements. A major problem with data infringements is that the attack and penetration into
the network will remain unrecognized for long durations. Even, they can never be identified
often. Human error, weak passwords, malware, and process failure are considered to be several
grounds of data infringement (Schwartz & Peifer, 2017).
Presently, near about 100 million consumers and over 30% of the American population
were impacted by the data infringement of Capital One. On 19th July 2019, it has been announced
by the company that some specific kinds of personal data in relation to the credit cards of the
consumers and other applicants of Capital One products have been seized by such a person who
is not an employee of that company. A woman from Seattle was arrested for suspicion of the
violation (News, 2020). In spite of this significant incident, the top five data infringements are
not broken at all. Yahoo, now owned by Verizon, actually experienced the biggest data
infringement in the history of the United States. In 2017, it has been admitted by Yahoo that
almost 3 billion account holders got affected by the data infringement incident of 2013. The
names, date of births, contact number and passwords were revealed of those accounts which
were encoded with essentially weak security code. Not only that, the hackers were also provided
