Why PWC's Data Privacy Breach is a Wake-Up Call: Future of Data Privacy and Security

PWC’s recent global cybersecurity breach has sent shockwaves through the business world, causing millions of customers to question the safety of their personal information and highlighting the risks of traditional data storage methods.

Cybercriminals who targeted PwC and other companies gained access through a third-party application called MOVEit. The breach resulted in the theft of sensitive data and highlighted the risk of using third-party apps for data storage and transfer.

Hackers have stolen data from entities including US federal agencies, Shell and the BBC. These companies were given ransom demand, or sensitive information would be released online. 

‍

The breach is growing larger as more companies reveal they are experiencing cyberattacks.
