In the scenario described above, the confidentiality of the data concerned is very much at risk. In actual fact, it is not only the confidentiality that is at risk, the integrity and the accessibility of the data is also very much at risk. Data confidentiality refers to the properties of a data that prevents it from unauthorized viewing or disclosure.
