I see a lot of questions on the internet of what is a Data Breach and how does it differ from a Data Leak.
Data breach is when hackers are able to get in the back door of a website or computer by brute forcing their way in to steal your personal information.
Data leaks are when the company has left an open door on a computer or website and hackers are easily able to steal your information, The company or website was irresponsible on protecting your personal data.
