Információszivárgás is the Hungarian term for information leakage or data breach. It refers to the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive, confidential, or private information. This can occur through various means, including cyberattacks, accidental exposure, insider threats, or physical theft of data storage devices.

The consequences of információszivárgások can be severe for individuals, organizations, and even governments. For individuals, it can lead to identity theft, financial loss, reputational damage, and emotional distress. For organizations, data breaches can result in significant financial penalties, legal liabilities, loss of customer trust, damage to brand reputation, and disruption of operations. In national security contexts, információszivárgások can compromise classified information, leading to geopolitical instability or endangering lives.

Preventing információszivárgások involves a multi-layered approach to cybersecurity and data protection. This includes implementing strong access controls, encrypting sensitive data, conducting regular security audits, training employees on security best practices, and developing robust incident response plans. Technological solutions like firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and data loss prevention tools are also crucial. Furthermore, adhering to data privacy regulations, such as GDPR, is essential for minimizing the risk and impact of such events. The ongoing evolution of threats necessitates continuous adaptation and improvement of security measures.
