Email addresses and passwords data breach claims

Exposed email addresses and passwords can cause havoc for a victim and can lead to the widespread misuse of accounts and information.

If such information is exposed due to a data breach, leak, or hack, the victim could be entitled to claim compensation with the Data Breach Lawyers on a No Win, No Fee basis. You could be entitled to recover thousands of pounds in damages and we want to help you now.

Claiming compensation for leaks of email addresses and passwords

You could be entitled to claim compensation if any email addresses and passwords that belong to you have been exposed or leaked in some kind of data breach event. This can include where email addresses and passwords have been stolen arising from a cyberattack.

The GDPR can entitle the victim of such a data breach to recover damages for any distress that they have personally suffered that is caused by the loss of control of their personal information. The law recognises that such distress can have a huge impact on the victim which is why you can claim compensation for it, and you do not have to have suffered any losses or expenses to be able to claim. If you have suffered any loss in expenses, these can be factored into a claim in any event.

As Leading Data Breach Lawyers, we are proud to be able to represent victims who claim privacy compensation with this us on a No Win, No Fee basis. This means that we can waive our legal fees if a case does not succeed, subject to the terms and conditions as agreed if we believe that the prospects are strong enough to be able to pursue a claim.

The impact can spread wide

It must be remembered that the impact of data breaches that affect email addresses and passwords can be substantial. It may only take one email address with one password exposed to cause serious damage, as a person who gets hold of such information may then be able to access several of your online accounts. If a hacker does not know passwords for other platforms where you have not reused login credentials, they could trigger password reset systems and use your compromised email address to access swathes of accounts.

This is why it is important to deploy good sense when it comes to your data security. The use of two-factor authentication and alerts that go beyond your email can be significant to help combat this kind of problem. You should try and have this deployed to any actual email accounts you have as well to help to prevent exposed credentials being misused.
