A database breach does not always involve Personally Identifiable Information (PII). While many breaches do compromise PII, such as names, addresses, and Social Security numbers, breaches can also involve other types of sensitive data, including financial information, intellectual property, or corporate secrets. The nature of the breach depends on the type of data the database stores. Thus, not all breaches necessarily include PII.

Common causes of data breaches include phishing attacks, where malicious actors trick individuals into providing sensitive information; weak or stolen passwords that allow unauthorized access; and vulnerabilities in software or systems that can be exploited. Additionally, insider threats, whether intentional or accidental, can lead to significant data exposure. Human error, such as misconfigurations or accidental data sharing, also contributes to breaches.
