In case of COVID-19, Europe is highly affected specially France. In Europe, the COVID-19 pandemic has a different impact on different countries, as only selective countries have witnessed the rise in the number of cases and subsequently attracted strict, as well as prolonged, lockdown periods or social isolation norms. However, Western European countries such as Germany, France, Russia, and the UK have seen a comparatively modest decrease in their growth activities because of the robust healthcare systems. The sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic across the region has not only led to the standstill of business operations but have also led to the closure of several small and medium enterprises across the region. In the initial three to four months of 2020, the region has experienced a dip in technological investments across the country. However, the region rapidly adopted remote working culture thereby utilizing digital platform for business operations. The rapid shift in a complete digital phase accounted to data security issues across the organizations in the European region.

Similarly, in July 2020, an unprotected server exposed the personal information of 60,000 users of Ancestry.com, a family history search software company.
