Answer: An example of such a scenario would be when the user name and password meant to allow access to a customers bank account statement is cracked by unauthorized people this causing alteration (in the form of data diddling attacks) in the data contained in the statement. This is a compromise in integrity.

Explanation:

Confidentiality entails securing things people want to remain secret. An account statement of a bank customer is a confidential document which is to be kept secret. A password allows access to it.

Integrity implies receiving a sent data/information as accurately as it came from a sender. A data diddling attack alter integrity because the original information is altered by an unauthorized person.
