Understanding Data Misconfiguration and Your Rights

Data misconfiguration can occur when databases, cloud storage systems, or other digital platforms are improperly secured, allowing unauthorised access to sensitive information. This kind of oversight has been the root cause of many high-profile data breaches, exposing vast amounts of personal data to cybercriminals and other malicious actors.

The consequences of data misconfigurations can be devastating, including:

• Financial fraud resulting from stolen banking details.
• Emotional distress caused by the misuse of personal or medical information.
• Loss of trust in organisations responsible for safeguarding your data.

As a victim, you have the right to hold negligent parties accountable.
