Government covers national, state and local public bodies plus the contractors running services on their behalf, and holds citizen, resident and employee records ranging from tax and benefits data to law-enforcement records. A UK or EU public body's breach-notification duty runs under GDPR Article 33: it must notify its supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of a personal data breach. A US federal, state or local body has no equivalent single national deadline; it is typically reported under the general state data-breach notification statute covering the residents affected.

No confirmed incidents recorded for this sector yet.
