trust breach

Faith violated badly

A trust breach is a violation of confidence or faith placed in someone.

The term appears in legal contexts for fiduciary violations—when someone managing another's affairs acts against their interests—but applies broadly to any betrayal of reliance: The leaked emails constituted a serious trust breach.

Also called breach of trust.
