In this scenario, the part of the CIA triad that has been broken is integrity. Integrity refers to the accuracy and trustworthiness of information—ensuring that data has not been altered or tampered with in an unauthorized way. In this case, the water spill caused the bill's amount to be smeared, resulting in a misleading figure of $8 instead of the correct amount of $80. This alteration compromises the integrity of the billing information, as the recipient can no longer rely on the document to accurately reflect the amount owed.
Read the following scenario. Using complete sentences, explain which part of the CIA triad has been broken. Make sure to explain your answer.
Tony gets his phone bill in the mail. The bill was supposed to be for $80, but the mail person spilled water on the bill, smearing the ink. The bill now asks for $8.
