(Last Updated On: October 6, 2020)

Recent data breaches in Nepal creates panic among companies and consumers. Various data leaks from Foodmandu to Vianet Communication leaking almost two lakh thirty thousand data online on GitHub and Dark Web combined. Consumers started raising the question about their data; however, laws and act regarding data privacy, data breach, cybercrime, etc. are not explicit to consumers due to lack of awareness that it is directing them toward dissatisfaction.

Additionally, these days we see a severe cyber threat from anonymous criminals through a twitter.
