VAZAMENTO DE DADOS PESSOAIS: UM PROBLEMA EM CRESCIMENTO

Abstract

The number of people using some type of online service is increasing and many of these services store their users' data. Among the information stored are email and password used for access, date of birth and various other information. Due to the increase in the number of users, the number of information stored also becomes larger. Thus, the number and volume of data leakage and cybercriminal attacks that try to steal this information becomes increasing. The present work carried out a study to analyze, through research, the increase in data leakage in recent years in Brazil, especially after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and to verify the care that users have when using an online service in relation to information that they provide security precautions to prevent theft and exposure of your personal data. Through the studies carried out, the research results showed that data leakage in Brazil has been increasing every year, showing a large increase after the start of the pandemic in March 2020 and especially in the year 2021.
