It is your amygdala — the brain&rsquo;s threat-detection center — recalculating partner-threat probability after a catastrophic data event. The discovery of betrayal rewrites your brain&rsquo;s risk model in milliseconds, and the scanning, checking, and sleeplessness that follow are the monitoring resources your neural architecture has allocated in direct proportion to the severity of the breach. Your brain is not broken. It is doing precisely what it was designed to do with the information it received.</p>
