Data theft is defined as the act of stealing information from a computer with the intent of breaching privacy and obtaining information sensitive to confidentiality. This kind of theft has increasingly grown as a problem faced by multiple businesses and individuals.

Data theft can be a problem of a large or small business just as it can be a problem for an individual. These forms of data thefts include;

Password Hacking
This is where hackers figure out the password to your device and then have access to all the information you have stored on the computer or device. This can be a problem of businesses who have customer information stored electronically.

Eavesdropping
Hackers have the ability to send malware and bugged software or links to emails of an individual or business. These links, if clicked by an unsuspecting employee, can release encrypted malware that then gives the hackers access to information and computer systems.

E-commerce
When buying items online for your business or yourself, it is important to secure the card information you have inputted. Private information can be easily accessed by hackers if this information is not protected.
