An analysis of the increasing cases of data breaches in india

Abstract

The number of data breaches in India has increased significantly in recent years. This is due to a number of factors, including the growing use of digital technologies, the lack of adequate data security measures, and the increasing sophistication of cybercriminals. The impact of data breaches can be far-reaching. Individuals may suffer financial losses, identity theft, and other forms of harm. Businesses may lose customers, suffer reputational damage, and incur significant costs to remediate the breach. The Indian government has taken some steps to address the problem of data breaches. However, more actions should be taken to strengthen data security measures and to educate businesses and individuals about the risks of data breaches. This research examines the rise of data breaches in India and uses the Air India case study to demonstrate the possible attacks in an airline company's infrastructure and how easily the customers' personal information can be stolen.
