Compensation claims for consumer data breaches Compensation claims for consumer data breaches can allow thousands of people to group their cases together into one efficient set of legal proceedings. Court proceedings may be brought together to form a Group Litigation Order (GLO) which can be the best way to proceed with large volumes of cases where there are similar or identical issues.

fourth anniversary of the GDPR
June 20, 2022

The fourth anniversary of the GDPR has passed!

It seems hard to believe that the fourth anniversary of the GDPR recently passed last month. To coin an old cliché, time really does fly sometimes!

The GDPR brought with it the expectation of much better data protection in an increasingly digitised society. Whilst we have seen some betterment, there have been swathes of events and breaches that have led to people claiming compensation using it as well.

Billions of exposed information harms victims

 

As the growth of digital consumerism continues, we are sharing our personal information with an increasing number of online retailers and companies, both in the public and private sectors. Often, disclosing such details can be a requirement of making online purchases and orders, and since it has become the norm, we think little of this disclosure. But with billions of exposed information records circulating online, disclosing your data to third parties can bring about security risks.

In fact, there is a huge network of cybercriminals seeking to take advantage of the aggregation of personal information by organisations and businesses alike. Within company databases and online payment systems there can, unfortunately, be vulnerabilities. Hackers may be able to exploit them in order to steal personal information.

Though cybercriminals bear responsibility for data theft and misuse, it is also up to data controllers to protect the personal information in their possession. As such, where they fail to do so, they can be responsible for a breach of data protection law. To account for this injustice, you could be eligible to make a data breach compensation claim now on a No Win, No Fee basis.

Hacked Cybersecurity

Labour Party data breach stems from ransomware cyberattack

At the start of the month, it came to light that a potentially major Labour Party data breach was taking place, reportedly involving a third party suffering from a cyberattack.

Although it is understood that Labour’s own systems were not breached or directly affected by the cyberattack, a third party that stores and processes information for members on behalf of the Party was hit by what was reported to be a ransomware attack. It is thought that the hackers were not targeting Labour directly and appear to have financial motivations behind the attack.

The Labour Party notified members of the data breach and warned them to be wary of being contacted for scams, which could occur via email, text or from calls. We have taken on cases for those affected, so contact the team for help and advice now.
