==== Compromise of sensitive data
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the affected service is used to store or process personally identifiable
|
||
|
|
information or other sensitive data, attackers knowing an authentication secret
|
||
|
|
could be able to access it. Depending on the type of data that is compromised,
|
||
|
|
it could lead to privacy violations, identity theft, financial loss, or other
|
||
|
|
negative outcomes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In most cases, a company suffering a sensitive data compromise will face a
|
||
|
|
reputational loss when the security issue is publicly disclosed.
