As investigations into the massive BA data breach look to delve deeper into how the attack happened, it appears that it could have been prevented.
Some security researchers believe that the hackers behind the BA data breach attack are the same ones who hit Ticketmaster this year. If this is confirmed, the attack against BA could have been preventable, in theory, had the airline looked at better protecting themselves in the wake of the Ticketmaster data breach

You may be entitled to claim compensation as a victim of a council email breach, and our Data Leak Lawyers are here to help you.
A number of council email breaches have taken place over the years, and they can often happen by human error or software problems. Whatever the cause, they are often seen as systemic issues that can be easily resolvable, meaning the breaches should never have happened in the first place. For this reason, depending on the data breached, victims can be entitled to claim for data breach compensation.
The recent Ticketmaster cyber attack we’ve launched an action for may just be the beginning as hackers are reportedly ready to attack again.
The Ticketmaster cyber attack was successful because the hackers were able to install malicious code into third-party software that Ticketmaster were using as part of their payment process. Inbenta, the authors of the code, say they didn’t know Ticketmaster were using their code for this purpose, and had they have known, they say they would have recommended against it on the grounds of security issues.
The growing trend of hackers looking to attack third-party code means the huge Ticketmaster cyber attack may well be just the beginning.
The Emma’s Diary data breach involved the company behind Emma’s Diary, Lifestyle Marketing (Mother and Baby) Ltd, selling personal data without consent.
The company has been fined £140,000.00 by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) for illegally collecting and selling the personal data of some one million people. The data was sold to Experian Marketing Services who used the information for the Labour Party to specifically profile new mums to target them in the lead-up to the 2017 snap General Election.
Our Data Leak Lawyers are available now for advice to victims of the breach who can be eligible to claim for data breach compensation.

It’s assumed that a ransom is being demanded, although the details of any payment demands have not been made clear.
