We’re representing victims who are claiming compensation as a result of the Charing Cross GIC leak, and we know there are questions and concerns from those whose data has been exposed.
We’re used to advising people when these kinds of things happen. We’re fighting for justice in dozens of data breach compensation action, and this includes the similar 56 Dean Street Clinic leak.
Unfortunately, we can’t turn back the clock; but you don’t have to suffer in silence either. Here’s how we can help you.
We have commenced work for a compensation action in light of the Charing Cross Clinic data leak that was announced last Friday.
We were approached immediately for advice and legal representation, and we have agreed to act for any victim who comes forward for our help on a No Win, No Fee basis.
This email leak was entirely avoidable, and is a tragic repeat of previous data leaks that were just as preventable. We have recovered tens of thousands of pounds in damages for victims of the similar 56 Dean Street Clinic email leak where many claims remain ongoing. That was also another case of an email sent to hundreds of people where the recipient list was visible to all other recipients.
We have been contacted for help as a result of the Charing Cross Gender Identity Clinic email leak that has reportedly affected almost 2,000 people.
We understand that two separate emails relating to an art competition were sent by the patient and public involvement team, with around 900 individuals CC’d into each email. This is a clear breach of the victims’ rights to privacy, and we will be taking action for anyone who has been affected.
As lawyers who are fighting for justice for victims of the 56 Dean Street Clinic leak, with tens of thousands of pounds in damages already recovered, we are committed to helping anyone who has been affected by this latest email leak.
There’s been yet another data leak that’s hit the social media giant. It’s reported that Facebook exposed telephone numbers for millions of users, including those in the UK.
This latest data leak comes after a long line of breaches and incidents that have plagued the social media giant over the last few years. It also comes after increased scrutiny from regulators around the world over things like their data sharing policies, with the Cambridge Analytica scandal still fresh on our minds.
Although Facebook appears to be trying to play down the scale of the leak, there’s no argument as to how serious this incident is.
As a victim whose data has been exposed or misused, you can be eligible to make a claim for compensation for cybersecurity incidents.
Whether the incident has taken place at a business who you use the services for, at work, or at your local hospital, you may have a legal case. GDPR and Data Protection Act legislation allows for a victim to be entitled to receive damages for the impact of leaks, breaches and hacks. As expert data lawyers who pioneered some of the earliest cases and actions, we may be able to help you.
Here’s a little advice about when you may be able to claim and what we could do for you.
The volume of Countess of Chester Hospital data breaches has raised some concerns after figures revealed there have been hundreds of incidents in the 2018/19 period.
We say this a lot, but the volume of individual cases that we take forward that involve medical data cases is high. Although the statistics aren’t surprising, given the number of NHS data breach compensation claims we take forward, it’s still worrying; especially when you consider the nature of the information at risk here.
The news about the data revealed by the Chester Standard reported that, on average, there has been more than four every week during the period reviewed.
There has been news of a West Berkshire Council data leak that appears to be another incident of accidental disclosure by email.
According to Newbury News, an investigation into the data breach has been launched, with one person who was a victim of the incident said to be “shocked” at what has happened.
A huge number of the individual cases that we take forward are for council data breach compensation claims. They can be worryingly common, and the impact for victims can be severe given that local government authorities often hold a great deal of personal and sensitive information about a lot of people.
