the claim

Software backdoors are a common cause of data breaches.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 4 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that software backdoors are a common cause of data breaches?

Unclear. The retrieved sources list other root causes of data breaches, such as hacking, phishing, insiders and cloud misconfiguration, and none reports backdoors as a common cause. Several items merely give examples of backdoors existing, which does not address how often they cause breaches.
