Sounds like caching issues resulting in a leak, not an explicit breach.
- lmkg 4y agoIt's not a hack, but it's still a breach. A data breach just means that data is accessed by unauthorized parties. Accidental data breaches are not only possible, but common. If a company accidentally emails a group of customers with CC instead of BCC that's technically a data breach, although in most circumstances a low-impact one.
- rrwo 4y agoIf it's actionable by the ICO, it isn't a low impact one either.
- willcipriano 4y agoBreach used in this case is really spin. Calling it what it is, a "inadvertent disclosure" puts the blame where it belongs.
- omginternets 4y agoWe call it a breach because the original sense of the word refers to an opening, tear or rupture. In that sense, this is exactly the correct term. Who or what caused the opening is irrelevant.
- willcipriano 4y agoHey man I'm just trying to get done work, breach my front door and than breach a few cold ones.
- iso1631 4y agoIf a bank left $1b of cash at a bus stop and somebody takes it, it's not an explicit bank robbery, but it's still a theft. This however is worse, as the property they were negligent with wasn't their own property. It's the bank taking your safe deposit contents and leaving it at the bus stop.
- dang 4y agoOk, we've made the title say leak instead. Thanks!
