So there's no loss of data involved. You still have all the data you had before.
- victorhooi 10y agoI can't tell if you're being deliberate obtuse or just trolling... Data loss is an accepted term to describe what tssva is talking about - and yes, it is a real thing in the real world - e.g.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_loss_prevention_software https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_loss_prevention_software For example, I used to work in investment banking. It was well known, and expected, that us (and probably most other institutions) had network level monitoring, to prevent say, the leaking of a deal on some chat or web forum somewhere. Believe me, when there's lots of money involved, there are plenty of incentives to leak things. You'd look pretty silly if you had to explain to the regulatory authorities that you took zero steps to secure your network perimeter, or prevent the exfiltration of privileged or confidential data. And there are other legitimate use cases - educational institutions and schools come to mind.
