A data breach is any incident that exposes data to an unauthorized environment. A data breach can be caused by intentional or unintentional actions.

Most studies show that more data breaches result from human error than criminal attacks.

In recent years there have been several data breaches across the region. The main incidents are related to the public sector, and a leak of personal information of the citizens during the pandemic or elections.
