B could also be a breach. No contract means no consent.

I think A is a clear breach. It's illegal to obtain data like that.

Wait, can a vulnerable server really be a breach? Sounds off.

Not sure about A), isn't HR data often protected anyway?

D seems plausible too, especially if the server is vulnerable. I just can't recall if that alone qualifies as a breach under GDPR.

I feel like C could be a breach since it mentions processing by anyone other than the authorized parties. That sounds risky!

I remember we discussed that personal data needs protection, but I'm confused if B really counts as a breach.

I think a data breach involves unauthorized access, so maybe A is the right answer? But I'm not completely sure.
