School Ransomware Attacks: How Victims Can Claim Compensation in the UK

In recent years, school ransomware attacks have surged across the UK, leaving educational institutions, staff, parents, and pupils exposed to serious data breaches.

Criminal gangs can encrypt critical systems and steal sensitive personal data — from pupil records and medical information to staff payroll details — then demand ransoms whilst threatening to publish the stolen information. When schools become victims of school ransomware attacks, the consequences go far beyond operational disruption; thousands of individuals can suffer distress, financial loss, and identity theft risks.

The good news? Under UK data protection law (UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018), affected individuals can be entitled to claim compensation, and The Data Breach Lawyers is here to help you do exactly that.
