## Oh no! A hacker!
A hacker manages to get access to Mees' computer that contains his data and the secret shares he received. He also
knows the result of the aggregation. Will the secrecy of the three weights still be preserved? What if the hacker
gets access to Sara's computer as well? Will Noors privacy be protected?

:::::: solution
When receiving a sum from a set of 3 individuals, every record makes up roughly 30% of the final answer.
That is a big contribution. It can be quite easy to reconstruct the individual records, for example
by crossreferencing with other datasets. Also, if you are able to get your hands on 2 of the datapoints,
you will be able to fully reconstruct the third one.

Trust is another factor here. If the different parties (Mees, Sara and Noor) have a high level of trust
in eachother not to share their data, the risk level is lower than when the parties are known to occasionally
leak their data, or don't have proper security set in place.
If the hacker has access to the result, he can reconstruct Noors weight by subtracting Mees' and Sara's weight
from the total. The secret shares are not adding any more relevant information.
