That kind of information, in the wrong hands, could be disastrous for any organization seeking to protect their customers and prevent any form of monetary loss or legal repercussion. Ashley Madison and the Hacking Team learned this the hard way when attackers and cybercriminals were able to utilize their data in further attacks.
