  • Data Breaches:<\/b> Retailers hold a treasure trove of customer data, making them prime targets for cybercriminals. Data breaches can expose sensitive information like credit card details and personally identifiable information (PII), leading to financial losses, reputational damage, and regulatory fines.<\/span><\/li>
