A hypothetical cyber attack has targeted the public health sector's data systems. This resulted in a significant leak of confidential health records and personal data of citizens. The impact of this breach not only undermines the trust in public health agencies but also poses a serious threat to individual privacy. Furthermore, the loss of such sensitive information could potentially lead to widespread fear, potential financial exploitation of affected individuals, and erosion of national confidence in public health systems' capability to secure data.
