Common breaches of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) include data breaches from hacking, where unauthorized individuals gain access to databases containing personal information. Phishing attacks often trick individuals into providing their PII by masquerading as legitimate entities. Additionally, lost or stolen devices, such as laptops or smartphones, can lead to unintended exposure of PII if proper security measures are not in place. Finally, inadvertent disclosures through social engineering or mishandling of documents can also compromise PII.
