Closed msmayaswan closed 8 months ago

msmayaswan commented 9 months ago

DATE_TIME is a category of Personal Identifiable Information (PII) because it relates to specific details such as birthdates, appointment schedules, timestamps, event days, and time of day. Protecting this PII, DATE_TIME is crucial as it can reveal personal habits, routines, and life events that affect privacy. Misuse of DATE_TIME can lead to unauthorized access, identity theft, or fraud, for example, a birthday is commonly used in identity verification and can be exploited by malicious actors. Adequate security measures must be in place to safeguard this private information from breaches or cyber-attacks. Detection methods for DATE_TIME include both pattern matching and context.

Will detect a date in the format MM/DD/YYYY

I'll be using 12/12/2000 as a test date
