Data breaches can also result in a long-term erosion of personal data privacy, as the hacked personally identifiable information may be traded or shared amongst cyber-criminals for years to come on the internet, the dark web, or via other bad-actor means. This significantly increases the risk of further identity theft, financial fraud and massive headaches for consumers and victims.
