Exam CCSP topic 1 question 317 discussion

when hackers steal data they would not necessarily delete the data hence the data is not lost just stolen while with the other 3 options data is lost and not recoverable hence B is correct.

This is correct.

B is correct

While stolen data is a security breach, it is not technically considered data loss in the same way as corruption, deletion, or encryption key loss—which result in inaccessible or unrecoverable data. Why Not the Others? A. Data corruption: Corrupted data can become unreadable or unusable, making it a form of data loss. C. Accidental deletion: If data is deleted without a backup, it is permanently lost. D. Lost or destroyed encryption keys: If encryption keys are lost, encrypted data becomes permanently inaccessible, effectively resulting in data loss.

The odd one out here is B. Stolen by hackers. While it's a security breach, it doesn't necessarily result in data being lost in the sense that it can no longer be accessed. Data loss refers to situations where data is no longer available due to corruption, deletion, or loss of encryption keys

Stolen by hackers

D: Lost or destroyed encryption keys

It's interesting that Data Loss Prevention systems normally prevent data what is here called data breaches. Therefore I think the question/answer is not 100% correct.
