healthcare data breach spikes
July 11, 2022

Healthcare data breach spikes in recent years

Healthcare data breach spikes in recent years have been triggered by the increasing digitisation of society, and as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Unfortunately, whilst efficiency can be achieved through moving how we work and how we operate into digital infrastructure, the risks can be substantial. Any defence when it comes to information is only as good as its weakest link, and we saw cybercriminals exploiting vulnerabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic where healthcare industry staff were under substantial amounts of pressure in managing the virus.

Whilst we can see the reasoning as to how these spikes occur, the importance of data protection cannot be understated. When it comes to the impact on the victims, we are here as Specialist Data Breach Lawyers to help people.

Cloud data leaks: claiming compensation

We may see more and more cloud data leaks as society continues to move toward digital hosting and pulls away from physical hardware situated in an actual business premises.

A huge amount of the infrastructure that is now being deployed is used and stored in the cloud, so it is vulnerable to errors that can lead to leaks, or cyberattacks that can compromise whole systems.
