According to the EDPB Guidelines 01/2021 on Examples regarding Personal Data Breach Notification, if exfiltration of job application data (submitted through online application forms and stored on a webserver) resulted in personal information being accessible to unauthorized persons, this would be primarily considered what kind of breach?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

According to the EDPB Guidelines 01/2021 on Examples regarding Personal Data Breach Notification, a confidentiality breach occurs when personal data is disclosed or made available to unauthorized persons. This is the case when exfiltration of job application data from a website results in personal information being accessible to unauthorized persons, such as hackers or competitors. This type of breach may pose a high risk to the rights and freedoms of the data subjects, as it may lead to identity theft, fraud, discrimination, or reputational damage. Therefore, the data controller should notify the data subjects without undue delay, unless the data is encrypted or anonymized, or the controller has taken subsequent measures to ensure that the high risk is no longer likely to materialize.

D) A confidentiality breach. Easy peasy. Although I did chuckle at the thought of it being an 'accuracy breach' - like, 'oops, we accidentally leaked all your private info, my bad!'

Hmm, I was debating between C and D, but D makes the most sense. Can't really call it an availability breach if the data was just accessed, not necessarily deleted or modified.

Definitely a confidentiality breach, as the unauthorized access compromised the confidentiality of the data.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be considered an availability breach since the data might not be available to the rightful owner.

I agree, D is the correct answer. This is a textbook example of a confidentiality breach. Seems pretty straightforward to me.

D) A confidentiality breach. That's the obvious answer here - the unauthorized access to personal data is a clear breach of confidentiality.
