The leak of hundreds of millions of email addresses and passwords – known as Collection #1 – is a stark and alarming wake-up call.
The 87gb file that was published contained data that’s said to have been gleaned from a number of different hacks and attacks over several years. It serves as a monumental wake-up call for those who are guilty of reusing the same login credentials across different platforms, and for those who haven’t changed their passwords for years and / or use rubbish passwords.
Criminals have the technology to use data from these hacks to systematically target accounts with very little effort. People are in imminent danger.

You may be eligible to claim Marriott data breach compensation if you’ve yet to sign-up for legal representation.
This was a huge breach with around 500m people affected across the globe. Personal and contact information had been exposed since 2014 in some cases. Payment card data was also exposed in the breach, potentially leaving victims at an imminent risk of fraud.
We can help victims claiming Marriott data breach compensation on a No Win, No Fee basis. This means that you do not have to pay for our legal fees if the case doesn’t win, so long as you abide by the T’s and C’s of our agreement.
If you’re a victim of the monumental Marriott data breach, we may be able to help you claim compensation.
The Marriott data breach has to be the super breach of 2018. Some 500 million customers whose data was on the Starwood reservations database has been compromised. The breach period appears to have been from 2014 up until 10th September 2018. That’s a four-year exposure period!
Marriott International acquired the Starwood chain in 2016. As far as we’re aware, the affected customers were all on a separate Starwood reservations database.
We can help you if you need to make a claim for compensation as a result of a police data breach. Public sector breaches can be common, and we often help people in this area.

According to reports and investigations, Amazon data breach incidents are being caused by employees taking bribes for information.
The news of the bribes comes at quite a sensitive time for the online marketplace platform. Amazon remains embroiled in issues over inferior and dangers products being sold after it opened its platform to a wider world audience.
News of the Amazon data breach scandals is also among the issues over paid-for fake reviews. The issue of employee bribes for selling data is a particularly worrying issue.
The British airways data leak and the legal action we’ve launched has widened with the news that thousands more are affected.
It has been confirmed that a further 185,000 are understood to have also been affected customers who made a “reward booking” between April 2018 and July 2018 are said to be affected.
We’ve already launched our legal action for victims of the British Airways data leak. If you were affected by the August to September leak, or the latest breach announcement, we can help. We’re representing victims for claims on a No Win, No Fee basis.
You can start your Equifax data breach claim today. We’re offering No Win, No Fee arrangements, and we’re confident we will win the action.
We’re confident we will win your Equifax data breach claim for a number of reasons. The main factor here is that this breach was completely preventable. It was caused by Equifax failing to patch a known security vulnerability. On top of that, they also failed to identify the ongoing vulnerability.
Equifax have since accepted that their security was inadequate. Because this breach was preventable, we’re confident we can win our legal case against them.
You could be eligible to make a British Airways data breach compensation claim if you were affected by the recent breach.
We’ve launched our legal action for victims affected by the breach. Anyone who made certain purchases, bookings or booking changes during the breach period may be affected.
This was a serious and preventable breach in our view. Full card numbers, expiration dates and security codes (CVV) were exposed. We feel that there were a number of steps that British Airways could have taken to have prevented the breach as well. Both of these are major factors in our legal case against them.
Legal claims have been launched as the British Airways data breach revealed last week has hit some 380,000 customers.
Card numbers, expiry dates and security codes (CVV) have been exposed in the attack, together with the personal details of the victims.
This is an incredibly serious data breach that will likely result in a significant fine that could amount to £500m for breaches of the new GDPR that came into force in May 2018. Victims of the British Airways data breach can be eligible to launch a legal case for any financial loss, distress and inconvenience caused with us as well.
Data breach fatigue is said to be growing because of the sheer volume of data breaches that are happening on a continual basis.
In case you’re not aware, data breach fatigue is the idea that people are becoming less and less bothered about data breaches because they’re happening all the time. It’s almost as if there’s no longer a ‘uniqueness’ to the concept of someone falling victim to a data breach, and this can lead to a ‘group think’ kind of scenario where each individual’s interest in the risk can be diluted.
It’s said to be growing, and this could be very bad news for all of us.
Data breach costs go way beyond the money an organisation needs to pay in fines and claims. Consumer trust and reputational damage can be just as costly.
With data breaches constantly in the news, we’ve never been more aware of the impact they have, with practically most people nowadays impacted by at least one breach out there. The numbers of victims in some of the big breaches have hit the millions, and when it comes to consumer confidence and the reputation of an organisation who suffers a breach, there are trends to be assessed.
Trust and reputational data breach costs can be the real killer in the long-term.
