1.1.11+Identify+a+range+of+causes+of+data+loss

There are a lot of ways in which you may lose your data. They are: A Trojan Horse is a program that has the appearance of a useful and desired function but performs other undesired functions without you knowledge. Worms are programs that enable the duplication and spread of copies of themselves throughout a system.
 * User Error : ** The user may accidentally delete some files, over write them, or just plain simply forget to save.
 * Malicious Actions of a Third Party: ** Someone else may break your device storage, for revenge.
 * Theft: ** People may steal your data, either physically or through hacking.
 * Viruses and Malware: ** There are a huge range of viruses and malware that can do anything from nothing, to deleting everything on a hard drive. (These include worms, Trojan horses, spyware, scareware, time bombs etc.)
 * Hardware Malfunction: **Some storage devices come with defects, and may be the cause of data loss. These defects can be severe enough to cause the whole medium to 'fry' or just loss a small portion of the data.
 * Natural Disaster: **Things such as earthquakes, floods, wars and, even volcanic eruptions can destroy your hardware. They may also cause things like power failure. Fires are also a big cause of data loss
