Several factors contribute to the occurrence of data leaks. These include:
Human Error
Mistakes made by employees, such as sending sensitive information to the wrong recipient or failing to secure devices, are a common cause of data breaches.
Cyber Attacks
Hackers employ various techniques, including phishing, malware, and ransomware, to gain unauthorized access to systems and steal data.
System Vulnerabilities
Outdated software and weak security protocols can make systems susceptible to attacks, leading to data leaks.
