What Is A Data Breach?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In simple words, we can consider data breaching as stealing of information or data from a website without the knowledge or permission of the owner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this stolen data might have some sensitive information like, personal data and business secrets which could be a threat to your organizational security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This case study will undoubtedly open your eyes and show you why it is so critical to secure your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you heard the news that Marriott was breached in 2014 and went unnoticed till 2018?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me share this story with you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the year of 2014 when a well-known hotel brand Marriott was breached and the surprising thing is that nobody came to know about this, not even The Marriott itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And do you know how many people this incident affected?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 500 million customers were affected by this incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And credentials like, names of the customers, Addresses, Phone numbers, Email addresses, Passport numbers, Date of birth, Genders and Encrypted payment details, all were leaked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Despite the fact that 5.25 million unencrypted passport numbers were disclosed, this is still a major security breach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from this, Marriott has been chastised for its reaction to the hack, which has been blamed on a lack of communication as well as other security issues over its email domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of The Marriott’s worst blunders was failing to inform its consumers and concealing the facts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See.. this is what happens when your cyber system gets breached. This can create blunders you can never imagine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should learn something from the mistake of The Marriott<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And believe me this is not only about the Marriott but there are other brands as well which suffered due to data breaching attacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
