==== Compromise of sensitive personal data
|
|
|
|
This kind of service is often used to exchange information that could include
|
|
personal information, chat logs, and other private data that users have shared
|
|
on the platform. This is called
|
|
https://gdpr.eu/eu-gdpr-personal-data/[`Personally Identifiable Information`]. +
|
|
The leaked app key could provide a gateway for unauthorized individuals to
|
|
access and misuse this data, compromising the privacy and safety of the
|
|
application users.
|
|
|
|
In many industries and locations, there are legal and compliance requirements
|
|
to protect sensitive data. If this kind of sensitive personal data gets leaked,
|
|
companies face legal consequences, penalties, or violations of privacy laws.
