Data Breach on Facebook Is an Unethical Practice for Personal and Corporate Safety and Security
Abstract
Facebook has been failed to keep its users' account information confidential. It is difficult to fight back towards safety and security for human life and potential breaches. These data breaches can reveal everything from social security numbers to personal and financial information. Once a criminal has this information, they can engage in all types of fraud under anyone's name. These consequences can include destruction or corruption of databases, the leaking of confidential information, the theft of intellectual property and regulatory requirements to notify and possibly compensate those affected, including the theft of anyone's identity that can ruin his or her credit, pin anyone with legal issues, etc. The consequences of these hacks stretch farther into society, include the loss or corruption of databases, the unlawful disclosure of private data, and the pilfering of priceless intellectual property. Apart from the aforementioned immediate repercussions, it is mandatory under regulatory obligations to notify impacted parties and provide compensation for any resulting damages. Moreover, identity theft can have far-reaching effects, including financial devastation, legal complications, and irreversible harm to one's reputation. Therefore, in order to prevent these kinds of breaches and lessen the serious repercussions they may have, Facebook and other organizations that are entrusted with user data must give top priority to implementing strong security measures.
