Businesses Need Proper Cybersecurity – The Rising Threat of Data Breaches

Incidents often stem from inadequate cybersecurity measures, highlighting why businesses need proper cybersecurity to protect customer data.

Data breaches occur when sensitive information—such as names, addresses, financial details, medical records, or even login credentials—is accessed, disclosed, or stolen without authorisation. Breaches can result from sophisticated cyberattacks like ransomware or phishing, human errors such as sending sensitive information to the wrong recipient, or outdated systems vulnerable to exploitation.

For individuals, the consequences can be severe: identity theft, financial fraud, and emotional distress are common outcomes. Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, victims may have the right to claim compensation if a business’s negligence causes harm.
