In Brazil and the USA, data leaks have become increasingly common and are major concerns for companies and individuals. Brazil passed the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD) in 2018, similar to GDPR, making data leak prevention a legal requirement. The term is widely used in media, corporate communications, and cybersecurity discussions across both countries.
