Data breaches in catalysis can occur through multiple avenues:
1. Cyber Attacks: Hackers may target research labs, academic institutions, or companies involved in catalytic research to steal sensitive information. 2. Insider Threats: Employees or collaborators with access to sensitive data can intentionally or unintentionally cause breaches. 3. Third-Party Services: Many catalysis research projects involve collaborations with external entities. Weaknesses in the security protocols of these third parties can be exploited. 4. Physical Theft: Physical devices containing sensitive data, such as laptops and USB drives, can be stolen.
