leaks

The term **"leaks"** generally refers to the unintended or unauthorized release of something that is meant to be contained or kept secret. Depending on context, it can mean:

- **Physical context:** The escape of a substance—such as gas, liquid, or air—from a container or system.
- **Information context:** The unauthorized disclosure of confidential or private information to the public or to individuals not meant to have access.
- **Technology context:** In computing, a “memory leak” or “data leak” occurs when data or system resources are improperly handled, leading to inefficiency or security vulnerabilities.
