Cybersecurity breaches encompass malicious intrusions into digital systems that compromise the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of data and services across sectors such as healthcare, transportation, finance, retail, and government. Work in this area examines ransomware incidents, large-scale data theft, exploitation of software and hardware vulnerabilities, and emerging threats such as AI-enabled attacks and cybercrime-as-a-service. It also addresses systemic weaknesses in IT infrastructures, illicit data markets, and policy, legal, and organizational responses aimed at mitigating breach risks and impacts.
