Database Attacks
Database attacks may also include knowledge bases, CRMs, etc.
One such form of attack is where false, defamatory or other wrongful statements are created by a database operator that are in-turn intended to be relied upon by others.
The methods employed may involve activities related to StrategicHarms of various kinds and underlying 'incentive' models. Often the underlying intent is to cover-up wrongdoing.. These attacks may in-turn be subject to secrecy agreements, as such the victim of these forms of attacks may not be aware of the information at all; nor have any reasonable means to seek to resolve it.
Other forms of Database Attacks include Hacking / hackers; who may download a targets database for criminal purposes (ie: extortion, etc ) or commercial purpose (ie: using the database information for creating a contact database, etc.)
