Data breaches have consequences, often leading to legal action. In cases like Acuity and Mercer University, lawsuits aim to hold responsible parties accountable, address damages, promote better security practices, and provide compensation for losses. These consequences emphasize the importance of robust protection measures in safeguarding sensitive information.
