Who are the potential victims of an organization's data breach?
Since data breach refers to both intentional and unintentional disclosure of private and
confidential information, the owners of such information are mostly affected. For instance,
celebrities are people whose parts of lives are hidden and would not want to have the public
know about such information. Also, private companies and consumers are victims of data breach.
Data breach makes organizations face the threat of losing customers thus reducing their sales
(Handbook of information security: 2, 2006). On the other hand, data breach affects customers as
they are overwhelmed with the information disclosed which may not be pleasing to them. Also,
that heads of organizations are victims of data breach, and this may affect their personal lives in

face the scrutiny of the public regardless of whether the disclosed information was true or false.
Data breach remains a threat to many people and organizations and may completely affect
business operations leading to failure of organizations.
