A data breach is an incident wherein information is stolen or taken from a system without the knowledge or authorization of the system's owner. Do not think that it is the same as a data leak since that is when someone exposes confidential and sensitive data to unauthorized third parties.

A data breach, on the other hand, happens as a consequence of a cyberattack. On the other hand, data leaks happen due to poor cybersecurity practices or accidental individual actions. Data breaches happen due to hacking attempts on company databases by cyber-criminals.

I used the Have I Been Pwned site and I put my old email address account that I closed and it's going to be closed on March 20th, and my former often used password and the password I often used and my email address that I used most, were on many sites with data breaches! Even my Google password manager notifications said this but I never really payed attention to it before I sadly got hacked. It's unbeilevable that some of the sites my information was on that had the data breaches was Rate MD's, Wendy's app which I stopped using before this horribe hacking,NPR National Public Radio and more, I had never even heard of most of the sites Have I Been Pwned showed my information was on from these data breaches!

CHAPTERS

On February 17 2025,someone using the name likely a fake one, Sara Maureen hacked into my Amazon account and stole $400 from me on gaming tickets which I didn't even know anything about them since I have never ever bought them before and I rarely ever spend more than $50 or $60 in a month because my rent has gone up so high in the last 2 years I can barely afford to live in the same apartment I've been living in for 35 years this August!


I asked Amazon to please stop these payments and to give me my money back, they didn't refund it and wanted me to contact my bank to reject the money instead and I have given them tons of my business and $ for like 7 years already but they did cancel these orders because they couldn't varify it was me.


At about 11.45 pm I called the 1800- number of my bank and spoke to a woman in the lost and stolen card department and I asked her to please stop any payments on this card and she said she did, but I have to call my bank and ask them to reject the payments, I made no payments at all on the February 17,2025 and I now am going to need a new debit card.









I spoke to another Amazon customer service agent who told me all of the hackers orders were cancled and I asked them to close my old 5 year old account and I'm using a different email account and I closed my 14 year old one. I also got 3 disturbing emails by guys named John with different last names and emails 2 made scary creepy false claims that they have sexually explicit videos of me with my web cam, I would never do anything like this and I don't have any videos of any kind of me online and I don't own a web cam and they bribed me to pay them at a PO box not to show my family and friends and put it out there online further!

They said they are a hacker that installed a trogen virus malware in my computer,that they have been following me for a while and one of the emails by the other John actually said the password I often used!

Data protection is one of the critical areas, that are on the radar of the Regulatory Authorities, and as a Compliance professional, i understand that data breaches are going to increase due to the maturity of digitalization efforts, and the exploration of new ways by the criminals who try to trick the regulations, data controllers, and data processors. It is the responsibility of the data owners, to not share their personal data with anyone unless and until required by lawful and legitimate purposes. Thank you for this video so nice of you.
