Data of evidentiary value can be found on various parts of the computer system, including hard drives, solid-state drives, smartphones, clouds, and even network logs. Evidentiary data is crucial in establishing facts in legal situations and can range from simple files to metadata with timestamps and author information. In legal definitions, a security breach may occur when there's unauthorized acquisition of sensitive personally identifiable information, as stated in the Personal Data Notification & Protection Act of 2017.
